Early history and creation

Hartley spent the summer of 1916 with watercolorist Charles Demith and playwright Eugene O'Neill in Provincetown, Massachusetts, following time spent in Berlin focusing on portraits of German officers. His return to America was marked by an embrace of representational painting and landscape. Hartley engaged in the art movement Regionalism, which championed realism and straightforward depictions of everyday life.

Influence

gollark: You know what, I'll ignore this ENTIRELY for now muahahahaha.
gollark: This is in a 130 line function which *kind of* explains what it's doing, but apiaristically.
gollark: It *seemed* like it was just inserting things, but it may also be moving everything after this into the children of the other thingy?
gollark: ```nim var emNode = newDoublyLinkedNode(emToken) for childNode in token.children.nodes: if childNode.value == opener.value.token: emToken.children.head = childNode.next if childNode.next != nil: childNode.next.prev = nil childNode.next = emNode emNode.prev = childNode if childNode.value == closer.value.token: emToken.children.tail = childNode.prev if childNode.prev != nil: childNode.prev.next = nil childNode.prev = emNode emNode.next = childNode```
gollark: This would really be easier if they had actually bothered to put comments in this. I've worked out that it is in fact *not* a `seq.insert` call precisely, but I don't know what it's meant to be doing.
