MARSDEN HARTLEY. Mount Katahdin, Autumn, No. 2

Mount Katahdin, Autumn, No. 2. Artist: Marsden Hartley (American, Lewiston, Maine 1877-1943 Ellsworth, Maine). Dimensions: 30 1/4 × 40 1/4 in. (76.8 × 102.2 cm). Date: 1939-40.
Beginning in the mid-1930s, Hartley, a restless artist who had previously been associated with the European avant-garde, proclaimed himself to be the "Painter from Maine." Between 1939 and 1942, he created more than eighteen bold paintings of Maine's highest peak, Mount Katahdin, a geological landmark that, as the northernmost terminus of the Appalachian Trail, resonated with both regional and national symbolism. Hartley's flat and rough-hewn depiction of form aligns his work with folk art, which audiences and critics embraced throughout the period as inherently American.
