Marsden Hartley
Berlin Abstraction, 1914/1915
oil on canvas
Hartley and Marin were friends. John Marin Jr. told a story at dinner one night about the two of them going on a watercolor expedition around Cape Split one day. Hartley ran out of water for his paint so he peed in a cup and continued painting. We then speculated on how this might effect the price of the paintings from this jaunt. General consensus was it would increase their value.
