Summary: Marsden Hartley Autobiography...Somehow a Past
Review: This is a reworking of the autobiography of Marsden Hartley by Susan Elizabeth Ryan (Assistant Professor of Art, Louisiana State University) I have not read the previous versions but I am interested in Maine art and I found this autobiography and the pictures it contains interesting and informative about Hartley and his travels and interactions with other prominent artistic and literary figures of his time. There are 5 appendices that include some of his letters to Gertrude Stein and his niece Norma Berger. There are 45 illustrations (all in black and white) of photos of Hartley and of some of his paintings. There is a chronology of Hartley's life and travels which I have found helpful on occasion while researching some of his paintings.This book probably would not be of interest to you unless you had an interest in Hartley, but if you want to understand him and his paintings this book would be a good place to start.
