MARSDEN HARTLEY Renowned American modernist Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) began his career in earnest with a breakthrough solo show at Alfred Stieglitz’s iconic 291 Gallery in 1909.[ii]

ESTIMATE $150,000 - $250,000 USD

After spending the better part of two decades traveling, painting and building his reputation as a leading American modernist, often abroad in Europe, Hartley was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1931 which stipulated a stint outside the US. [iii] He took the opportunity to travel to Mexico and before his departure, he wrote to his beloved niece describing the excitement he felt for the “superb adventure ahead of me.”[iv] Hartley arrived in Mexico City in March of 1932, but his initial enthusiasm vanished shortly upon his arrival after receiving news of the tragic death of friend and poet Hart Crane by suicide at age 32.[v] In grief and increasingly dissatisfied with the accommodations in Mexico City, Hartley sojourned to Cuernavaca to settle and paint in what he described as the “opalescence” of the landscape.[vi] In his studio, he found a clear view of “the majestic rise of Popocatépetl always in snow and certainly one of the handsomest of the volcanoes of the world – …an almost flawless triangle. I am doing several [motifs] of it…”[vii] Along with the stunning views came his fortuitous access to a library of writings on the occult and thus, as Hartley scholar Gail R. Scott observes, his “visionary mountain portraits coincided with his continuing involvement with mysticism.” [viii] Hartley’s infatuation with the volcanic landscape along with his study of visionary writings built upon his intention to “reveal the covert, occult forces vested in the earth itself.”[ix] Hartley biographer Townsend Ludington puts it simply: “He never abandoned his fascination with the mystery of nature…”[x]

Hartley painted four versions of Popocatépetl.

Three of the paintings are oil on board in cobalt blues and bright whites. These three were exhibited in February 1933 at the Galería de la Escuela Central de Artes Plásticas in Mexico City to celebrate the culmination of Hartley’s Guggenheim Fellowship. Two of the three exhibited paintings now reside in public collections: Popocatépetl, One Morning (The Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, NE) and Popocatépetl, Spirited Morning – Mexico (Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC). The third Popocatépetl work was sold at Sotheby’s in November 2012.[xi] Lot 109, offered herein, is the fourth and largest in Hartley’s Popocatépetl series.[xii] He painted the oil on canvas in a palette of rust red, azure blue and white with a foreground of undulating lines perhaps representing the lava flows that he described as “the best kind of geologic theatre.”[xiii] The snow-capped volcano, nestled in by surrounding white clouds, thrusts up from behind an outcropping of lower profile formations. Hartley’s close friend and fellow artist Carl Sprinchorn (1887-1971), who owned the painting at one time, posited that the work may have been painted as a recollection possibly accounting for its absence from the Mexico City exhibition.[xiv] Whether it was painted on site or after he left Cuernavaca, we can see that the work is emblematic of Hartley’s continued quest for enlightenment through sublime treatment of his natural subjects.
