about The Hartley Elegies: Berlin Series

Robert Indiana’s (American, 1928-2018), “Hartley Elegies” were a series of 18 paintings Indiana created from 1989-1994.

They were inspired by American artist Marsden Hartley’s War Motif series, which was dedicated to a young WWI German soldier Karl von Freyburg whom Hartley had a friendship with until he perished in the war.

Also known as silkscreen or serigraph.
