About the Item

An oil painting of a landscape in Florida. The House of Refuge Museum showcases historic work from entrepreneurs and inventors. Bretzke captured it on a grey day, blue sky pokes out of whispy grey clouds. The presence of man is apparent in, two figures waling along the street's side, a car in motion, and the power lines that run parallel to the street. Exhibited in Carl Bretzke 2020 Solo Show at Grenning Gallery. Framed in a traditional gold frame with an inner linen matting. Carl Bretzke is a representational painter who specializes in urban scenes and plein-air landscapes. Carl's work has been exhibited extensively in Minnesota and California, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Carl's work has been described in the Washington Post as "simultaneously intimate and detached…The artist's unadorned style recalls Edward Hopper and The Ashcan school." Carl holds an MD degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School. His undergraduate degree is from the University of Colorado, where he also received a minor in Fine Art. Carl has also trained extensively under Plein Air Painters of America signature artist Joseph Paquet.
