		When Prendergast was in his late fifties and early sixties, he painted a number of large canvases like Sunset and Sea Fog on the theme of the seaside park, which he felt evoked an idyllic world where opposites were reconciled: nature and civilization, past and present, movement and rest.
		The scene, based on Prendergast's many sketches of actual seaside parks along the Massachusetts coastline, is transformed into a fairy tale by the setting sun and a mysterious red-haired equestrienne.
		Prendergast's own style was based on a carefully adjusted combination of colors which were applied to the canvas in dots, patches, and layers.

		Prendergast's use of these dancing figures is predicated on a compelling personal interest in dancers such as Isadora Duncan and in the liberation philosophy, or culte de la vie, espoused by Isadora and other avant-garde artists of his generation.
		Prendergast may well have seen an actual performance by Isadora, but even if he did not, he would certainly have been aware of her dance movements through exposure to the work of contemporary visual artists.
		Prendergast's artistic expression of modern dance is further demonstrated in a series of large, single-sheet drawings of dancing figures, which he did between 1912 and 1915; for these, Prendergast probably worked from a model moving for him in his studio.

		Though less tightly orchestrated than many of Prendergast’s seaside processionals, Promenade is typically organized into three horizontal bands of grass, sea and sky.
		The horizontal arrangement of the figures is abstractly echoed in coloristic sequences which are for the most part applied in broad, rectangular strokes, with the white ground visible around the blocks of color.

		Of the many printing techniques, Prendergast chose the monotype method, which involves painting an image in reverse on a glass or metal surface then pressing it against a sheet of paper.
		Prendergast was influenced by the work of the Nabis during this time and would have seen paintings by Pierre Bonnard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Maurice Denis at the 1893 Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
		The monotypes made by Prendergast were usually single or unique states of oil paint applied to Japan paper by using a spoon, or other such device, to rub the paper against the plate.

		Prendergast, born in St. John's, Newfoundland and raised in Boston, had participated in the major avant-garde movements of his day.

		At this point in Prendergast's career, he was searching for artistic statements that were more monumental and lasting than the small scale, naturalistic works of his early years.

		Prendergast enthusiastically absorbed their basic doctrine that a painting, before representing anything, should be perceived as a flat surface covered with ordered patches of color.
		Prendergast's color, clear, direct, and laid on very wet, coalesces in the bubble forms of open parasols red, Prussian blue, beige, white which echo the hues of the buildings, the Grand Canal, and the sky.
		The sense of luminosity that Venice confirmed in Prendergast's work stayed with him in later years, as his compositions became more friezelike and abstract, with their rag doll people enacting scenes from modern pleasure spots which are at the same time rendered archetypal in all but the modern dress of the figures: beach, park, promenade.
