Retrato de um oficial alemão

1914
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 908
Hartley pintou suas abstrações mais avançadas no início da Primeira Guerra Mundial, enquanto vivia em Berlim. A série, intitulada “Motivos de guerra”, reflete sua fascinação pela pompa do exército alemão e sua tristeza com a morte de um amigo íntimo, o jovem oficial de cavalaria Karl von Freyburg. O retrato abstrato de Freyburg, constituído de sinais, símbolos, cores e desenhos, mostra detalhes de sua vida e do serviço militar: suas iniciais (KVF), idade (24), regimento (‘E’, que significa Eisenbahn), medalha da Cruz de Ferro e a bandeira da Baviera (azul e branca).
