Painting No. 46 | Marsden Hartley Postcard

Painting No. 46 (c. 1914-1915) by Marsden Hartley is an abstract work that showcases the artist's exploration of modernism and colour theory. The composition features bold, saturated primary colours—black, white, red, blue, yellow, and green—in dynamic and expressive arrangements. Hartley's use of these colours conveys emotion and movement, characteristic of his modernist style. This piece highlights the artist’s interest in abstraction and his ability to evoke a powerful response through colour and form, reflecting the influence of both European avant-garde movements and American modernism. The work is an example of Hartley's transition from representational art to the use of pure abstraction. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
