About Storm Clouds, Maine

“Storm Clouds, Maine” is an artwork created by Marsden Hartley in 1906. The piece is associated with Pointillism and Regionalism art movements and belongs to the landscape genre. This composition vividly captures the tumultuous energy of storm clouds over a field in Maine.

The artwork presents an ominous sky filled with thick, dark clouds that dominate the upper half of the painting. These clouds, laden with impending rain and a sense of foreboding, contrast sharply with the illuminated patches of landscape beneath. The land below is depicted with colorful, fragmented strokes, characteristic of the Pointillism technique, showcasing varied hues of earthy tones—yellows, oranges, and browns. The blending of these colors creates a dynamic, almost shimmering effect, suggesting the movement of grasses or fields amidst the turbulent weather. Hartley’s masterful application of color and form effectively brings to life the dramatic atmosphere of an impending storm, capturing the raw beauty and power of nature.
