“Landscape, New Mexico” is an artwork created by Marsden Hartley in 1920. The piece is categorized under the art movements of Expressionism and Regionalism, and belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork displays a striking depiction of the New Mexico landscape. Dominated by earthy tones and a vivid blue sky punctuated by thick white clouds, the scene captures the essence of the region’s natural beauty. A prominent dark hill stands as a central focal point against rolling, rugged terrain. The terrain, meticulously rendered with layered textures and brushstrokes, reflects the arid and rocky characteristics of New Mexico. Sparse vegetation is scattered across the landscape, which also features winding pathways and canyons that lead the eye through the piece. Hartley’s bold use of color and dynamic composition embodies the expressive qualities of the landscape, evoking both its grandeur and its isolation.
