		Charles Demuth, recognized today as one of America¹s leading early modernist painters, was an outstanding watercolorist who fully understood the delicacy and nuances of the medium.
		Demuth worked quickly with his pencil and colored washes to capture the fleeting qualities of the light and atmosphere of the beach in summertime.
		Demuth eloquently uses the fluidity of his medium to echo the mutability of the sand, sky, and surf of the beach.

		Obviously Demuth's rendering has something in common with Hartley's arrays of banners, numbers, and emblems, and in fact Williams later recalled that he had seen and heard the firetruck in question from the window of Marsden Hartley's studio on Fifteenth Street.
		But Demuth was an exceptional watercolorist and his still-lifes and figure paintings, with their wiry contours and exquisite sense of color, the tones discreetly manipulated by blotting, are among the best things done in that medium by an American.
		Sheeler and Demuth were painting a functional American landscape refracted through a deadpan modernist lingo that, in Demuth's case, picked up bits of Robert Delaunay and Lyonel Feininger while anticipating some of the essential subjects of Pop art.

		Like Toulouse-Lautrec, Demuth was lame all his life and therefore turned to the theater for inspiration.
		Beginning in 1919, Demuth began to use two types of abstractions: one was soft, with symbolic forms which were often enclosed in circular frames; the other was hard, encompassing flat, prismatic shapes, crisscrossing diagonals, and streams of light.
		Demuth worked in both oil and tempera, applying these in a dry, economical manner that permitted a literal transposition of natural and architectural motifs into paint.

	Lancaster County Gay History
		Demuth Americanized 20th century modern art at a time when many artists remained stylistically tied to Europe in their celebration of America; he masterfully demonstrated that it was possible to take provincial American " limitations " and create compelling art.
		Demuth and Robert Locher also socialized with the Lancaster gay community, such as it was in the 1920's and 30's.
		Demuth's final legacy, then, is not just watercolors on canvas; his most significant bequeathal is the reminder that accomplishment is not defined by sexual orientation, and that appeciation of diversity is as historical as Lancaster itself.

	The Figure 5 in Gold: Charles Demuth's Art & William Carlos Williams' Poem
		Demuth and Williams, men with a similar background and both profoundly interested in painting and literature, understood each other's creations because their understanding of the nature of the creative imagination was similar and because the development of their means of expression had been determined by the same sources.
		The visual power of Williams' original image and Demuth's transposition of it into what might be called its "native" visual medium is indeed so strong that it still has the force to inspire artists of an entire new generation.
		Demuth places the poet's name, "BILL," above the horizontal of the largest numeral, and the letter abbreviation for "number" (No.) withing the curve of the five, graphically illuminating the relation of word to number.

		Demuth's watercolors range from translucent landscape abstractions to decorative florals, stylized still lifes, miniature (8"x10") narrative scenes, lively circus and vaudeville arabesques, and unashamedly explicit homoerotic idylls.
		The rendering is classic Demuth: expressively awkward figures drawn in pencil and then lightly tinted (a manner Demuth learned from Auguste Rodin's nudes), warm washes of cadmium yellows and earth colors, an energetic weaving of pencil or charcoal lines to lend visual definition and texture, and a dreamlike confusion to the architectural space.
		Demuth's watercolors also document some of his early experiments in Precisionism — his own interpretation of the early Cubist style of Picasso and Braque — in a series of landscape and seascape paintings done during 1916-17 in Rhode Island and Bermuda in the company of Marsden Hartley.

		One of the most graceful and sophisticated of early American modernist painters, Charles Demuth (1883-1935) made his lifelong home in Lancaster, Pa., where his family owned a lucrative tobacco business.
		Unfortunately, it leaves out (with perhaps one exception, "Trees and Houses" of 1916) the crisp architectural images that were a Demuth hallmark; these blended Cubism and Futurism with echoes of orderly Lancaster farm and church buildings and the American industrial landscape.

	TIME.com: Charles Demuth amid the Silos -- Dec. 7, 1987 -- Page 1
		For Demuth was homosexual; not a flaming queen, in fact rather a discreet gay, but still loath to suppress his fantasies and memories of sexual encounters -- many of which, in the time-honored way, concerned sailors on leave in Baghdad-on-the-Hudson.
		But in Demuth's day, the public atmosphere was, of course, very different, and he, like Marcel Duchamp and other artists in the avant- garde circle that formed around the collectors Louise and Walter Arensberg, took a special delight in sowing his work with sexual hints.
		But Demuth was, by any standards, an exceptional watercolorist, and his still lifes and figure paintings, with their wiry contours and exquisite sense of color, the tones discreetly manipulated by blotting, are among the best things done in that medium by an American.
