The late 1950s saw a seismic shift in Marge's art, reflecting some drastic changes in her life. Before then, her artwork was mostly practical: portraits, landscapes, paintings of her children playing in the sandy beaches of Savannah, Georgia, a tranquil life. Then, shortly after moving to Montana, her husband started having psychotic episodes, throwing her tranquil life into turmoil. The artwork reflects this: giant, sprawling, dark, complex, abstract, angry and fearful, not just for her husband's condition but society around them. "The Red City" represents the dark underbelly of industrial society with its stark pollution and haunting colors.
