Marsden Hartley, American, (Lewiston, ME, January 4, 1877 - September 2, 1943, Ellsworth, ME)

Notes
With great economy of means—single, broken pencil strokes and singleness of viewpoint—Hartley presents the male body almost as a still life object, without spatial or narrative context. The reductive means, however, only enhances the sensuous form.
