About the Item

This painting depicts an abstracted waterscape with bright blue colors and visible, textured brushwork, and vertical way brushstrokes. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1947, Baart’s work has stayed true to his New England roots. Robert Baart graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1969. A year later in 1970, Baart received the Clarissa Bartlett Traveling Scholarship for Alumni of the Museum school. Baart later returned to his alma mater to teach for thirty-five years before retiring in 2009. He has been awarded numerous grants and honors and has works in exhibitions and collections both in the U.S and abroad. Baart is an avid observer of the nature of the American northeast, and his work encompasses a variety of mediums while focusing primarily on the subject of natural landscapes. His paintings employ a temporal sense of color, light, and atmosphere – blurring the line between realism and abstraction – that expresses a very personal experience with the world around him. Within his work is embedded both a concern for the deteriorating state of the modern world as well as a spirituality of nature that moves the individual. Today, Baart is a member of the Fenway Studios, a limited-equity cooperative that serves as both home and studio to Boston artists since its conception in 1905. The Studios maintain a rich history of housing many of Boston’s most prominent artists and teachers, a legacy that continues to this day. “For as long as I can remember, I have been an observer of nature and the landscape... Over decades I have wandered in and around mountains, fields, swamps, and woodlands as well as having daily encounters with ribbons of green space in the city. It all provides a constant source of study and reflection that continues to inform my work.”
