Hartley developed his painting abilities by observing Cubist artists in Paris and Berlin. Following WWI, Hartley was obligate to return to the United States from Europe & upon his return, he painted Handsome Drinks. The drink-ware calls back to the gatherings hosted by Gertrude Stein, where Hartley met Pablo Picasso, and Robert Delaunay. In addition to being considered one of the foremost American painters of the first half of the 20th century, Hartley also wrote poems, essays, and stories and published during his lifetime in many of the little magazines of the day, including one book of essays (this work). Rather scarce with original Dust Jacket. Presents well. N° de ref. del artículo RAREA1921ALNZ
