Sunday Leisure: Prendergast's Colorful Art Unveiled
Staff Report / PHLlocal.org
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is highlighting the artwork "Sunday Promenade," created by Maurice B. Prendergast between 1914 and 1915. This piece exemplifies Prendergast's Post-Impressionist style, which transforms everyday scenes into decorative patterns and shapes. The painting features vibrant colors, as the pigment is applied in heavy dabs that are skillfully woven together, creating a rich tapestry that depicts people enjoying a leisurely Sunday in a seaside park.
Visitors can view "Sunday Promenade" in gallery 215, which is dedicated to American Art.
