57.2006.4 Maurice Prendergast, Seashore, Crepuscule 1907 | DMA Staging Content Management System

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This image of fashionably dressed strollers enjoying the early evening seaside at Gloucester, Massachusetts, was painted in 1907, after Maurice Brazil Prendergast made an eventful trip to Paris. There, awakened by the coloristic experiments in contemporary painting, he reveled in the deep, jewel-like colors used in this scene. The work is not only highly decorative but also an important moment in Prendergast's career; it was painted the year before he began to exhibit independently with a group of seven other modern artists.
