Marsden Hartley and The West: The Search for an American Modernism

Marsden Hartley and The West: The Search for an American Modernism

Product Information

Written by Heather Hole with a preface by Barbara Buhler Lynes

Considered the greatest of the early American modernists, the painter Marsden Hartley (1877–1943) traveled the United States and Europe in his search for a distinctive American aesthetic. His stay in New Mexico resulted in an extraordinary series of landscape paintings—created in New Mexico, New York, and Europe between 1918 and 1924—that shows an evolution in style and thinking that is important for understanding both Hartley’s oeuvre and American modernism in the postwar years.
