Original Description
Marsden Hartley’s Mt. Katahdin (Maine), Autumn #2 is a striking modernist interpretation of Maine’s rugged wilderness, radiating both power and reverence for nature. Painted in 1939–40, this work exemplifies Hartley’s late-career shift toward bold, simplified forms and expressive brushwork, merging European modernism with distinctly American subjects. The painting captures Katahdin—Maine’s highest peak—through dynamic geometric shapes and earthy autumnal hues of ochre, deep reds, and dusky blues, evoking a sense of timeless grandeur. Hartley, a key figure in American Modernism and member of the Stieglitz Circle, imbued the landscape with spiritual intensity, reflecting his personal connection to rural Maine. Unlike earlier Precisionist works, this piece embraces raw, almost primal energy, positioning Hartley as a bridge between early 20th-century abstraction and later Abstract Expressionism. Its historical significance lies in redefining American landscape painting by balancing abstraction with emotional depth.
For spaces seeking warmth and bold character, Mt. Katahdin (Autumn #2) makes a compelling focal point. Ideal for a study, living room, or executive office, its rich palette harmonizes with mid-century modern or rustic-industrial decor—pair it with walnut furniture, leather accents, or matte black metals to amplify its earthy tones. A medium-to-large format (the original measures 30 × 40 inches) ensures visual impact without overwhelming smaller rooms. Complement its warm reds and golds with neutral walls (soft grays or creamy whites) or create drama via deep navy or charcoal backdrops. Positioned opposite ample natural light, the painting’s textures glow, while directional lighting enhances its sculptural brushstrokes. For cohesive styling, add abstract ceramics or woven textiles in matching hues, balancing Hartley’s vigor with organic simplicity.
