Description
This artwork is titled "The Last of New England — The Beginning of New Mexico" by Marsden Hartley, painted in 1918. Sweeping golden hills and bold, rhythmic cloud forms define a dramatic landscape marked by jagged fence posts and distant adobe dwellings. The fiery palette of ochres, blues, and reds conveys both emotional intensity and geographical transformation. Hartley's Expressionist style captures the spiritual energy of the American Southwest while bidding farewell to his New England roots. The dynamic brushwork and abstracted natural forms reflect his Modernist evolution. This fine art reproduction is based on a high-resolution image of the original oil painting, preserving its textural richness and evocative frontier atmosphere.
