About the Item

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.”

"Mary in the Garden" Oil painting Garden w Holy Statue Icon, American Cowboy
By Carl Bretzke
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a rural property on a sunny day in the United States. A man wears a cowboy hat, a denim shirt, bandana over his face, and boots, while holding a shotgun. He's walking with determination to the left of the scene, with a medium sized black dog following him in tow. The bed of a pickup truck catches light in the distance, parked beside the residential structure. A farmhouse with a metal roof, and a wide-hooded porch, stands tall, offering shade and comfort, especially with cushioned armchairs to sit on out-front. A few electrical poles reach up towards the sky, confirming the contemporary time frame. In the foreground, a garden is fenced in with wire and wood. A statuette of the Virgin Mary is placed within this fenced garden, absorbing sunlight alongside the plants. An apt depiction of contemporary Americana...
