Landscape c. early to mid 20th century

Marsden Hartley's "Landscape" is a charcoal drawing dating back to the early or mid 20th century. Hartley, known for his abstract style and experimentation with color, used bold lines and shadows to depict a mountainous landscape, possibly inspired by the rugged terrain of Maine, where he often found artistic inspiration. The drawing's expressive lines and fragmented forms suggest a landscape in motion, capturing the raw energy of nature. This piece exemplifies Hartley's approach to art, using simplified shapes and suggestive details to convey a powerful emotional response to the natural world.
