Gloucester, Fishermen s Houses 1915

Maurice Prendergast's 1915 watercolor painting "Gloucester, Fishermen's Houses" depicts a lively scene on a beach. The artist's signature style of bold colors and simplified forms is evident in the composition. The figures on the shore, in vibrant hues of blue, red, and black, are set against a background of a picturesque seaside town, creating a sense of motion and vibrancy. This artwork is a prime example of Prendergast's mastery of watercolor, where he captures the essence of a summer day in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
