From the 1890s through the 1910s he moved away from the impressionistic recording of natural scenes to develop a more personal mode of expression. Though Prendergast painted classic impressionist motifs – the beach, park strollers, quiet harbors – throughout his career, he actually was not interested in subject matter per se. He preferred to experiment with formal elements, conceiving of them abstractly. "Cove, Maine," shown here, marks the beginning of Prendergast’s move to a more avant-garde aesthetic; his loose brushwork almost takes an energetic life of its own, and the canvas became a tapestry of color and movement analogous to the melody and rhythm of music. Maurice Prendergast, "Cove, Maine," circa 1907-1910, oil on canvas.」9月29日 7時23分
