"California Landscape" – a pastel-toned and partially intensely luminous work

(1882 Ionia, Michigan, USA – 1957 Los Angeles) "California Landscape" is a pastel-toned and partially intensely luminous work, characteristic in motif and style of the renowned American landscape painter. Bartlett received his artistic education at the Art Students League in New York under William M. Chase and Charles Warren Eaton. After stays in Boston, Portland, and San Francisco, Bartlett permanently settled in Los Angeles from 1915. From 1924, he also taught at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. In California, Bartlett became associated with the so-called "Eucalyptus School," which was influenced by French Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and Fauvists such as Matisse. He frequently exhibited at the Laguna Beach Art Association, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and the Stendahl Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1927, his first solo exhibition was held at the Los Angeles Museum of Art. Bartlett's works can be found, among others, at the Los Angeles Museum of Art and the State Picture Gallery in Washington. Oil on canvas; signed. 50 cm x 61 cm. In frame. "California Landscape."
