Marsden Hartley: An American Modern
September - November 1998

The exhibition Marsden Hartley: An American Modern clearly illustrated Hartley's position at the center of the artistic and cultural maelstrom known today as early American Modernism. Curator, Patricia McDonald organized and circulated this retrospective of paintings and drawings from the extensive holdings of the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. The show included examples of his early post-impressionist Maine mountain scenes, pre WWI abstractions completed in Paris and Berlin, his Provincetown experiments, the New Mexican landscapes, still lifes from the 1920's and 1930's, Bavarian mountain pastels, 1930's archaic portraits and late Maine landscapes.
