Issued by the Louisiana Museum of Art, the poster showcases Hartley’s bold, modernist approach, reflecting his deep connection to American identity, regionalism, and folk symbolism. The original painting, created in 1940, exemplifies Hartley’s late-career return to his Maine roots, where he sought to capture the spirit and resilience of the working-class men of New England. The composition features a robust, muscular lumberjack, his stance exuding strength and pride, set against a dynamic coastal backdrop. Hartley’s distinctive use of flattened forms, vibrant color contrasts, and simplified yet expressive brushwork gives the image an almost sculptural presence, emphasizing the subject’s monumental quality.
