FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
In 1916–1917 Demuth and his friend Marsden Hartley visited Bermuda. While there he experimented with cubism and the legacy of Cézanne in a breakthrough series of landscapes. In this picture, the ruled lines and faceted planes of ships' prows and masts complement the curvilinear cowl vents and the arabesque forms of the ocean waves.
