More about this artwork

"Marsden Hartley's evocative painting, 'Mt. Katahdin (Maine), Autumn (1939-40)', masterfully captures the rugged beauty of one of Maine's most famous landmarks. This expressive work features bold, vibrant colors and stark contrasts that bring to life the essence of autumn in New England. The dark silhouette of Mt. Katahdin rises majestically against a striking sky, portrayed in sweeping curves of pale blues and whites, lending a serene yet imposing air to the scene. Below, the landscape unfolds in rich, warm tones of reds and oranges, indicative of the seasonal foliage that blankets the area. A solitary pine tree stands prominently on a promontory, overlooking a vividly blue lake speckled with touches of white, suggesting the chilly, rippling waters. Hartley's unique approach to form and color creates a palpable sense of depth and texture, inviting viewers to explore the rugged terrain and atmospheric conditions characteristic of Maine's wilderness.

Marsden Hartley (1877–1943) is a Maine native and a leading American Modernist painter, along with his contemporaries, Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe. He is well-known for employing geometric abstraction as well as bold colors and lines. His paintings depicted imagery of nature, landscapes, figures, and still-life. Sponsored by Alfred Stieglitz, Hartley went to Europe in 1912, spending most of his time in Germany, where he met Gertrude Stein, Wassily Kandinsky, and Franz Marc. After returning to America in 1930, he reconnected with the New England of his childhood and started to portray the landscapes of New England in his paintings.
