Marsden Hartley: Adventurer in the Arts

Marsden Hartley: Adventurer in the Arts offers a fresh appraisal of this pioneering modernist, whose work continues to be celebrated for its spirituality and experimentation. Rick Kinsel’s introduction provides an overview of the manifold ways in which Hartley’s peripatetic life shaped his artistic vision. Essays by William Low, Emily Schuchardt Navratil and Kinsel explore works and artefacts in the Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection of Bates College Museum of Art in Maine; Hartley’s love of the circus, a recurrent theme that reflected his desire for escape; and the painting Schiff, created in Berlin in 1915 with imagery from both Native American material culture and German folk art.Year: 2020Artist: Marsden HartleyAuthors: Rick Kinsel, William Low, Emily Schuchardt-Navratil, forward by Dan MillsPublisher: Merrell Publishing in association with the Vilcek FoundationDetails: Hardcover with jacket, 212 pages, 215 illustrations 29 x 25 cm (11.5 x 9.75 in)Exhibition: Marsden Hartley: Adve
