Marsden Hartley - nature
|
Hartley believed in the ability to form a powerful emotional connection with nature, and attempted to render such in his work. Some of his early work seems to have an impressionist influence because Hartley painted in a way that he thought best conveyed his experience of being in the Maine mountains. When put on canvas his emotions are characterized through quick brushstrokes.
