Bermuda No. 1, Tree and House. Artist: Charles Demuth (American, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 1883-1935 Lancaster, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 10 x 13 7/8 in. (25.4 x 35.2 cm). Date: 1917.
Demuth and Hartley rented rooms on the top floor of a well situated but inexpensive hotel on St. George's Island (Bermuda). Located on a hilltop, it afforded them charming views of the harbor and the island architecture. According to Hartley, they each planned "to get a room elsewhere to work in." In this complex picture, Demuth represents the setting as a series of receding registers. Starting with the gnarly tree in the foreground, he compresses the space to include a house with peaked roof, lush vegetation, water, rolling hills, and a tall tower. In 1924, Demuth gave this watercolor to Stieglitz, noting that "It has a small piece of paper pasted on it, -- over one of the roofs.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
