From 1913-1915, Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) lived in Germany where he was influenced by German Expressionism. Cézanne's work also had a profound effect on Hartley, as evidenced by this drawing - presumed to be part of a series Hartley did - which can be compared with Cézanne's many studies of Mont Sainte-Victoire. Throughout the 1920s Hartley also experimented with still lifes in the manner of Cézanne. Along with Arthur Dove, John Marin and Georgia O'Keeffe, he is seen as one of the forerunners of American modernism.
The present work, entitled Alpspitze # 3, is, again, believed to be part of a series that Hartley did, the first of which was featured in a major exhibition in 1989-1990 curated by Gail Levin called "Hartley in Bavaria" which traveled to Hamilton College, Baruch College and Bowdoin College in Maine. The text in the catalogue, accompanying an illustration of "Alspitze" (a different work, also done in 1933), states: "Hartley wrote to his niece that 'it is snowing a lot and I am painting Alpine snow effects indoors. I walk six or seven miles and make the drawing and the rest is memory - but I have had to work that way for years and it is my way of showing how much I have learned and absorbed from nature.' .... Hartley was reasonably pleased with his own efforts at painting the Alps which he thought he would call "portraits": "I have at last registered some Alps and they look most Alpish which is of course what I want they to do, but they are not like anything that the common world would think of as Alps, because these Alps themselves, that is the few usable motives are the most original I have ever seen, and I have I know, gotten them as they are, and with as close a fidelity as the eye is capable of and not use a camera, even a camera cannot get the inner effects of them, but all I wished I have put in these new ones for what I wanted to get is their inner character, and still have them look "natural" so that the peasant would say at once O yes... that is Alpspitz and know the difference when he is looking..."
This present work bears the original Zabriskie Gallery, New York label on the verso. There is no apparent signature, and beyond the Zabriskie provenance, no other information available.
Note that Hartley's Alspitze (of which the present work is presumably from the same series)- sold at Swann's auction back in 2011 for US $10,200. [Thursday, June 9, 2011 [Lot 00058]
