Greek Boxer - Marsden Hartley Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Marsden Hartley painted "Madawaska (The Greek Boxer)" during his final Maine period, fixing Lionel Daigle's stare on the viewer with unflinching directness. Daigle, a French-Canadian boxer from Madawaska, sat for Hartley in the early 1940s, and the artist rendered his features through the heavy dark outline that marks Hartley's late style.
Heavy brows and a set jaw frame eyes painted almost black, holding the frontal pose steady and refusing any softened angle. Hartley builds the face from planes of umber flesh tone and ochre undertone, each stroke thick with impasto edge against a deep red field behind him.
The composition owes its scale and simplified anatomy to the folk-art primitivism Hartley absorbed from New England craft traditions and from the German Expressionist circles he knew in Berlin.
Daigle's shoulders fill the canvas edge to edge, a working-class archetype elevated to monumental portraiture. Hartley's brush never looks away, and the picture insists we do the same, one unbroken gaze fixed inside the crimson ground.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
