The End Men 1914

Maurice Prendergast's 1914 watercolor, *The End Men*, depicts a scene of a theatrical performance. The painting showcases Prendergast's signature style of vibrant colors and simplified forms, capturing the energy and movement of the stage. The composition is divided into two distinct sections: the top half features a group of dancers on stage against a red backdrop, while the lower section shows the orchestra playing below. Prendergast's use of bold lines and contrasting colors creates a dynamic and lively atmosphere, reflecting the vibrancy of the performance. *The End Men* is a testament to Prendergast's talent for capturing the essence of a scene through a distinctive and engaging artistic approach.
