About this artwork
Marsden Hartley painted this work in 1916, and it belongs to the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The title points to houses in Provincetown, and houses are its subject. It is the fifth in a group titled Movement. Hartley was an American Modernist who also wrote poetry and essays, and he sharpened his painting by studying Cubist artists in Paris and Berlin. That background is a useful way into a work like this, where a familiar subject is approached in a modern manner.
On your wall: Its modern, abstract character suits living rooms, studies and hallways where you want a work that rewards a second look and sits well alongside contemporary furnishings.

About Marsden Hartley
Marsden Hartley was an American Modernist who worked as a painter, poet and essayist. He developed his skills as a painter by studying the work of Cubist artists in Paris and Berlin, and that experience shaped his approach to the canvas. His writing sat alongside his painting as part of a wide-ranging creative life.
