C'est un peintre américain. A voir le décor où il réside, au bord de la mer, dans une ile, on le sent intégré à la nature, plus : à la mer.
à l'intérieur de la maison, forcément, des personnages féminins
pareil sur la plage
quand on vit sur la mer, on regarde la mer
on scrute le souffle des baleines
 |
| elle souffle ! |
 |
| et en dépeçant, on a des surprises ! |
on fait du bateau sur les vagues :
il faut bien vivre : on expose :

"Bo Bartlett is an American realist with a modernist
vision. His paintings are well within the tradition of American realism as
defined by artists such as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth. Like these artists,
Bartlett looks at America’s heart—its land and its people—and describes the
beauty he finds in everyday life. His paintings celebrate the underlying epic
nature of the commonplace and the personal significance of the extraordinary.
"Bartlett was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts, where realist principles must be grasped before modernist
ventures are encouraged. He pushes the boundaries of the realist tradition with
his multilayered imagery. Life, death, passage, memory, and confrontation
coexist easily in his world. Family and friends are the cast of characters that
appear in his dreamlike narrative works. Although the scenes are set around his
childhood home in Georgia, his island summer home in Maine, his home in
Pennsylvania or the surroundings of his studio and residence in Washington
state, they represent a deeper, mythical concept of the archetypal, universal
home."
