About the piece
Created in 1913, 'Movements' represents Marsden Hartley's significant contribution to the early abstract movement. The painting employs a rhythmic arrangement of geometric shapes—including a dominant central triangle and pulsing circular forms—rendered with confident brushwork and a daringly modern use of primary and secondary colors.
