Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist andpioneering artist of the early twentieth century. But he was also a prolific writerwho published dozens of essays and reviews and several volumes of poetry and prose.The autobiographical account of his life in the manuscript collection of Yale?sBeinecke Library has often been consulted by scholars and curators writing aboutHartley. It is the most revealing document he left about his personal life andrelationships -- both for its disclosures and omissions -- but has never beenpublished before.Transcribed from Hartley's own handwritten manuscripts, thisedition is accompanied by photographs (some never before published), notes, and anintroduction discussing Hartley's fascination with autobiography in the context ofhis struggle with notions of self-representation in art. Susan Ryan also describesthe circumstances surrounding the composition of Somehow a Past, and explains thedistinctions between this original version and two later ones also in the BeineckeLibrary.Somehow a Past is compelling both as historical document and as personalnarrative. Although solitary, self-involved, and saturnine, Hartley neverthelessknew nearly every figure of the international avant-garde in his day and unfolds hislife largely through a chain of personal encounters. His traffic with such majorliterary and artistic figures as Alfred Stieglitz, Vasili Kandinski, Gertrude Stein, Mabel Dodge, Eugene O?Neill, Robert McAlmon, and Charles Demuth is recorded as arehis travels both domestic and foreign.Somehow a Past is gossipy, discursive, andself-distanced. Hartley drafted it several times, truncating the description of histraumatic childhood, and leaving out any overt reference to his homosexuality. Yetthere are moments of crystal clear self-characterization and leitmotifs thatcommemorate his troubled youth. Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist and pioneering artist and writer of the early 20th century. This autobiographical account of his life is the most revealing document he left about his personal life and relationships but has never been published before. SOMEHOW A PAST is compelling both as historical document and as personal narrative. 45 illustrations. Slight scratching/scuffing on cover. Book has minor shelf wear. Sold as is.…

Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist and pioneering artist of the early twentieth century. But he was also a prolific writer who published dozens of essays and reviews and several volumes of poetry and prose. The autobiographical account of his life in the manuscript collection of Yale¹s Beinecke Library has often been consulted by scholars and curators writing about Hartley. It is the most revealing document he left about his personal life and relationships -- both for its disclosures and omissions -- but has never been published before.Transcribed from Hartley¹s own handwritten manuscripts, this edition is accompanied by photographs (some never before published), notes, and an introduction discussing Hartley¹s fascination with autobiography in the context of his struggle with notions of self-representation in art. Susan Ryan also describes the circumstances surrounding the composition of Somehow a Past, and explains the distinctions between this original version and two later ones also in the Beinecke Library.Somehow a Past is compelling both as historical document and as personal narrative. Although solitary, self-involved, and saturnine, Hartley nevertheless knew nearly every figure of the international avant-garde in his day and unfolds his life largely through a chain of personal encounters. His traffic with such major literary and artistic figures as Alfred Stieglitz, Vasili Kandinski, Gertrude Stein, Mabel Dodge, Eugene O¹Neill, Robert McAlmon, and Charles Demuth is recorded as are his travels both domestic and foreign.Somehow a Past is gossipy, discursive, and self-distanced. Hartley drafted it several times, truncating the description of his traumatic childhood, and leaving out any overt reference to his homosexuality. Yet there are moments of crystal clear self-characterization and leitmotifs that commemorate his troubled youth.
