Berlin Abstraction
Marsden  Hartley (American, 1877 -1943)

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. . . .
