Cemetery, New Mexico (Marsden Hartley)

Cemetery, New Mexico is an early 20th century painting by American artist Marsden Hartley.

Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a cemetery in Taos Pueblo, New Mexico.

[1] During this period of habitation, Hartley made a mental note of the area's topography, sky, and a small cemetery nearby.

[2] While visiting Europe (in a trip from 1923 to 1924), Hartley began painting a series of works he called "recollections".

As noted in the Met's profile of Cemetery, Hartley painted from memory to emulate American artist Albert Pinkham Ryder, who the former admired.
