Original Description
Hills by Marsden Hartley is a striking modernist landscape that radiates raw, elemental energy. Painted in 1908-09 during the artist’s early Maine period, it exemplifies Hartley’s transition from Post-Impressionism to a bolder, more abstract style influenced by Cézanne and the German Expressionists. The composition features simplified, geometric forms of rounded hills rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes, their earthy tones—ochre, olive, and deep browns—contrasting with vibrant passages of blue and green. This painting captures Hartley’s deep connection to Maine’s rugged terrain, merging emotional intensity with structural discipline. Historically, it marks a pivotal moment in American modernism, foreshadowing Hartley’s later iconic works and his role in the Stieglitz Circle, which championed avant-garde art in early 20th-century America. The painting’s primal vitality and compressed space reflect the artist’s quest to distill nature into its essential, almost spiritual forms.
For interior spaces, Hills offers a dynamic focal point. Its organic forms and warm earth tones make it ideal for spaces with mid-century modern or rustic-industrial decor, where it can soften clean lines or complement natural materials like wood and stone. Consider hanging it in a study or living room with ample wall space (the original is 25 x 30 inches—a medium size that suits most settings) to let its textured brushwork shine. Pair it with neutral furnishings in taupe or slate to harmonize with its palette, or amplify its energy by accenting with terra-cotta or sage green textiles. In an office, it fosters creativity, its bold shapes contrasting elegantly with sleek, minimalist furniture. A frameless float mount or slim wood frame would preserve its modernist integrity while integrating seamlessly into contemporary interiors.
