The artwork titled “Lighthouse,” created by Marsden Hartley in 1915, belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is classified under the figurative genre.
In the artwork, Hartley employs a vibrant color palette dominated by reds, greens, yellows, and blues. The composition features bold geometric shapes intricately arranged to form a lighthouse-like structure. The use of curved and angular lines creates a rhythmic pattern, drawing the viewer’s eye towards the central figure. Hartley’s abstract representation emphasizes symmetry and balance, with concentric circles and parallel lines contributing to the overall harmony of the piece. The artwork reflects the innovative spirit of the Abstract Art movement while maintaining a recognizably figurative subject matter.
