| Marsden Hartley was one of several young modernists who were protégés
of photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. Born in Maine, the painter led
a peripatetic but productive life, executing landscapes, still lifes, and abstractions
in many different styles in North America and Europe. Hartley was influenced
by neoimpressionism, expressionism, and cubism, and specifically by Kandinsky,
Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne. . . .
