About Handsome Drinks

“Handsome Drinks” is a still life artwork created by Marsden Hartley in 1916, falling under the Cubism art movement. The artwork portrays a unique and vibrant arrangement of various drinking vessels and abstract elements that reflect the distinctive characteristics of the Cubist style.

The artwork features an assortment of drinking vessels including a red chalice, a goblet, a cup, and two other distinct containers. Each of these objects is rendered with bold colors and simplified geometric shapes, characteristic of Cubism. The background is divided into sections of contrasting hues, prominently displaying the words “LUS” and “LOGH,” which may suggest abstract or symbolic significance.

Through this composition, Hartley encapsulates a dynamic interplay of form and color that invites contemplation and admiration.
