Promenade Salem 1920

Maurice Prendergast's 1920 painting "Promenade Salem" depicts a lively scene of people enjoying a summer day by the water in Salem, Massachusetts. Known for his vibrant use of color and bold brushstrokes, Prendergast captures the energy and movement of the scene, with figures seemingly dancing across the canvas. The bright blue water, contrasting with the lush green foliage and colorful clothing of the figures, creates a visually engaging and dynamic composition, characteristic of his Impressionist style.
