Marsden Hartley (American, 1877-1943), The Ice Hole, Maine, 1908. Oil on canvas. New Orleans Museum of Art, Museum purchase through the Ella West Freeman Foundation Matching Fund.
A prolific artist, Hartley produced hundreds of paintings and drawings during his lifetime in a number of varying styles, which reflect a willingness to experiment with a whole gamut of European artistic movements from Post-Impressionism to Cubism. Hartley’s earliest style of 1907 and 1908 has been termed Impressionist, but his rhythmic, slashing brush strokes and rugged paint surfaces have all the qualities of the German Expressionists with whom he was later associated. Maine was a source of constant renewal for Hartley. The Ice-Hole, Maine is a forecast of the painter’s lifelong interest in his native state, despite a life of constant wandering.
