context_page_description: Lobster Fishermen is an early 20th century painting by American artist Marsden Hartley. Done in oil on masonite, the work depicts a group of lobster fishermen in Hartley's native state of Maine. Considered part of Hartley's 'Maine Series', Lobster Fishermen is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
context_section_description: Lobster Fishermen itself depicts a group of lobster fishermen (participants in Maine's iconic lobster industry) posed on a dock. The painting was rendered by Hartley in 1940-41 while the artist was occupying an abandoned church in the fishing village of Corea, Maine. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's profile of the piece notes that Lobster Fishermen is similar to Paul Cézanne's painting series The Card Players.
  A study (produced in 1940) for Lobster Fishermen is also in the Met's collection.
