About the Item

A glowing depiction in rusts and reds of an old Spanish mission in a characteristically California landscape, by notable California landscape painter Dana Bartlett, founder of both the California Art Club and California Watercolor Society. He studied under William Merritt Chase, and you can see the influence here, though his strokes are clearly individual in style. There was a solo exhibition of his work at the L.A. County Museum in the 20's. Comes in a handsome hand-carved gold frame, ready for hanging. Painted on artist's illustration panel. 15" x 14" without frame, 21" x 20" with frame. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans. Bio info from AskArt archives: "Dana Bartlett is known for his landscapes and plein-air views of California and the Southwest. In 1922, he served as President of the California Art Club, and he was founder and the first president of the California Watercolor Society. Born in Ionia, Michigan in 1882, Bartlett moved to New York City to study at the Art Students' League. There he studied under William Merritt Chase and Charles Warren Eaton. For a short time Bartlett had a studio in Boston before moving to Portland, Oregon, where he worked as a commercial artist for the Foster-Kleiser Company. He then relocated to California, and briefly had a studio in San Francisco before finally settling in Los Angeles in 1915. In 1921 he had the opportunity to show his work with a select group of fourteen artists at the first California Watercolor Society exhibition, and later become president of that Society. He held a solo exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1927, and soon after opened his own gallery featuring work of local artists as well as his own. He was an accomplished watercolorist whose decorative style embodies the California 'Eucalyptus School', however he painted many nocturnes, landscapes, and scenes from his travels in Europe. He contributed greatly to his local art community and taught at he Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles during his career. His works are held in many museums, including the Laguna Beach Museum of Art, and the Huntington Library, San Marino. Dana Bartlett died on July 3, 1957 in Los Angeles, California."
