1877 — 1943 • American Modernist Painter

Key Works: Berlin Abstraction, Painting No. 50, Portrait of a German Officer, Fisherman’s Last Supper

Biography: Hartley spent years in Berlin where he fell deeply in love with a young German military officer who died in World War I. His Berlin Abstraction series used coded military emblems, numbers, and symbolic colors to create a private visual language of grief and desire. The paintings were misunderstood in America as abstract military tributes, but they were actually love letters that could not be spoken aloud in his lifetime.

Poster Design: Coded military emblems, iron crosses, and target circles in Prussian blue, military red, and wheat gold. A cryptic geometric memorial to a love that could not be named.

• Acid- and lignin-free and made to last.
• The natural finish enhances vibrancy and depth.
• Textured matte surface that enhances depth without losing clarity.
• Handmade wooden frame from Italy.
