""In the last three years of his life, Marsden Hartley schemed and dreamed about public recognition - for both his visual and his literary work. He wanted the paintings to be where they would be seen and appreciated by the public.""
""Gail is the leading authority on all things Hartley, and we are fortunate that she recognized Bates, located in Hartley's hometown of Lewiston, Maine, as a worthy institution to host the Legacy Project.""
The Marsden Hartley Legacy Project has launched a comprehensive online catalogue featuring over 1600 of Hartley's artworks, including paintings, drawings, pastels, and prints. The catalogue provides detailed information such as provenances, exhibition histories, and bibliographies, documenting over 2200 exhibitions and 2100 publications related to Hartley. The project, initiated by art historian Gail R. Scott in collaboration with Bates College Museum of Art, aims to enhance scholarship on Hartley, a significant figure in American modernism. The website will be continuously updated with new material.
