One portrait of one woman

author

Marsden Hartley

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, USA.

A teacup with a cross sits on a tablecloth. Two candles burn in the background. The red, white, and blue palette evokes the French and American flags, while the yellow color symbolizes light. The title is referenced in repeated passages from Gertrude Stein’s texts. Gertrude was one of the people who promoted Hartley and his work.
