The Dark Mountain, No. 1. Artist: Marsden Hartley (American, Lewiston, Maine 1877-1943 Ellsworth, Maine). Dimensions: 14 x 12 1/8 in. (35.6 x 30.8 cm). Date: 1909.
Soon after his May 1909 exhibition at "291," Hartley saw Albert Pinkham Ryder's painting Moonlight Marine (1870-90; The Metropolitan Museum of Art), a classic example of American romanticism. It sparked a new series of emotionally and tonally dark landscapes of Maine, including the two on view here. The Dark Mountain, Number 2, with its cloud-filled sky and blackened palette, pays direct homage to Ryder's picture. In March 1910 a number of Hartley's "dark landscapes" were included in the "291" group show "Younger American Painters," which placed him in the company of Arthur Dove, John Marin, and Max Weber, among others.
