Marsden Hartley

Landscape, New Mexico
1919–1920

An expressionist painting depicting a vibrant landscape with rolling hills and mountains. The foreground features bold, curving lines in shades of brown, yellow, and blue, suggesting a field or riverbank. The midground shows undulating green hills, while the background consists of dark blue mountains under a dynamic sky with white and blue clouds. The brushwork is loose and energetic, contributing to the overall sense of movement and emotion in the scene.
