Marsden Hartley
Madawaska - Acadian Light-Heavy
1940
“Hartley particularly favored this model, a French-Canadian light heavyweight boxer. He explained, ‘I have for the first time since 1922 a real live model a magnificent young feller … His body is so fine and dear I could work almost without end from him.’” (@ the Art Institute of Chicago)
I’ve posted this before, but never knew the backstory. Sweet.
