Description
This artwork is titled "Provincetown" by Marsden Hartley, painted in 1916. A symphony of intersecting planes and forms in muted tones—beige, brick red, blush pink, and black—create a bold yet refined abstraction. The composition centers on a series of overlapping shapes, with a semicircular black-and-white motif anchoring the visual rhythm. Hartley’s Geometric abstraction fuses Cubist structure with American Modernist sensibility, revealing an affinity for both spiritual symbolism and dynamic design. The painting’s layered surface and minimalist palette emphasize form over subject. This fine art reproduction is produced from a high-resolution image of the original oil work, faithfully preserving the textured, sculptural qualities that define Hartley’s Provincetown period.
