Marsden Hartley: The German Paintings 1913鈥�1915
This exhibition features the work of influential American modernist painter Marsden Hartley (1877鈥�1943). Approximately twenty-five of the artist鈥檚 seminal works from his years spent in Berlin (1913鈥�1915) reveal the profound impact of World War I and elucidate the artist's appropriation of military symbols and Native American motifs. Hartley鈥檚 paintings from this period reflect dynamic shifts in style and subject matter, and evidence a critical moment in his body of work. The exhibition, organized by the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, in collaboration with LACMA, coincides with the centennial commemoration of World War I. The presentation in Los Angeles marks the first exhibition of Hartley's work in Southern California in over thirty years, and the first focused exhibition of Hartley鈥檚 Berlin paintings in the United States since they were created.
