專家說明

The present work is part of Marsden Hartley's Songs of Winter series of small-scale oils painted in Maine during the winter of 1907-08. There are six other know works from the series, including Song of Winter No. 6 in the collection of the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland Maine and Songs of Winter in the collection of the University of Minnesota Art Gallery in Minneapolis.

Elizabeth Finch writes “The grouping of seasonal themes into ‘songs’ signaled their association with Whitman’s ‘Song of Myself.’…This coding of self in terms of nature (and Whitman) reverberates in the paint facture. Shades of blue tinged with pink predominate in the Songs of Winter series, and the subtle variation of loosely applied paint denotes both subject matter and the suggestion of distance or proximity.” (“Becoming ‘An American Individualist’: The Early Work of Marsden Hartley,” Marsden Hartleys Maine, New York, 2017, p. 57)
