Handsome Drinks by Marsden Hartley (1916) — Poster

A still life of fruit and glasses fills the frame in Marsden Hartley's Handsome Drinks. The composition is tight, almost crowded, with a sense of abundance that spills beyond the edges of the canvas. The colors are rich and varied, with deep reds and oranges contrasting against muted greens and browns. The brushwork is loose and expressive, giving the objects a sense of movement and life. The background is dark, providing a stark contrast to the bright colors of the fruit and glasses. This poster brings a sense of warmth and conviviality to a dining room or kitchen.
