EDITORS COMMENTS
Marsden Hartley's Eggplants and Pomegranates, a captivating oil painting from the 1910s, invites viewers to contemplate the intricacies of aging and the passage of time. This masterpiece, created by the American artist between the years 1890 and 1943, is now part of the esteemed collection at Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen. Hartley, a prominent figure in modernist art, masterfully captures the essence of decay in this evocative still life. The rich, vibrant colors of the eggplants and pomegranates, with their textured surfaces, appear to be in various stages of decomposition. The aubergines, with their deep purple hue, seem to be sagging, their once firm bodies now yielding to the ravages of time. The pomegranates, with their ruby red arils, are equally affected, their once firm and juicy exteriors now wrinkled and shriveled. The painting's close-up perspective invites the viewer to examine the intricate details of the aging fruit, drawing attention to the textures and colors that are often overlooked in their fresh state. The use of oil paint allows Hartley to capture the subtle nuances of the decaying process, creating a visual experience that is both intriguing and thought-provoking. Born in Lewiston, Maine, USA, Hartley spent time in both America and Denmark, and his artistic style was influenced by both countries. This painting, with its Danish subject matter and American modernist style, is a testament to his unique artistic vision and his ability to capture the beauty in the aging process.
