"May Time" is a celebrated painting by the American artist Maurice Brazil Prendergast, who is renowned for his vibrant and innovative contributions to early 20th-century American art. Prendergast, born in 1858 in St. John's, Newfoundland, and later relocating to Boston, Massachusetts, was a pivotal figure in the development of modernist aesthetics in the United States. His work is characterized by a distinctive use of color, pattern, and a keen interest in capturing the leisurely activities of urban life.

Created around 1900-1903, "May Time" exemplifies Prendergast's mature style, which was heavily influenced by his exposure to European Post-Impressionism and the work of artists such as Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat. The painting is a vibrant depiction of a springtime scene, filled with figures enjoying a day out in a park. Prendergast's use of watercolor and gouache on paper lends the work a luminous quality, with bright, jewel-like colors and a mosaic-like arrangement of forms that create a sense of rhythmic harmony.

The composition of "May Time" is notable for its flattened perspective and the way it emphasizes decorative surface patterns over realistic spatial depth. This approach reflects Prendergast's interest in the decorative arts and his desire to create works that were both visually pleasing and evocative of the joyous, ephemeral moments of everyday life. The figures in the painting, often depicted in fashionable attire, are rendered with a sense of movement and vitality, contributing to the overall festive atmosphere of the scene.

"May Time" is part of the collection at the Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where it continues to be admired for its innovative style and its ability to capture the essence of a leisurely spring day. Prendergast's work, including "May Time," remains influential in the study of American modernism and is celebrated for its unique blend of European influences and distinctly American subject matter.
