For me, Marsden Hartley stole the show at the Everson Museum and “American Moderns” from the collection at the Brooklyn Museum had some stellar pieces. There were four Hartleys here, more that any other artist so it was quite a treat. His paintings look like they were done yesterday. Bold colors, knockout compositions, vigorous paint handling, they rival Philip Guston’s work.
