Daily Maine Fact from Around Maine: "I am so sick of granite and balsam and fir and whatever that I could scream almost." - Marsden Hartley, Maine-born artist, writing to a friend. Hartley was forever torn by his conflicting needs for nature and solitude, on one hand, and urban excitement on the other. On September 2, 1943, Hartley died in Corea, Maine, where he had summered since 1940. (Source: Marsden Hartley, by Barbara Haskell. New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 1980)
