About the Item

Elwood Warren Bartlett is a Wisconsin native who also worked in Indiana. Turtle Creek (named of course for its many turtles,) is in the southeastern part of the Wisconsin. It is now a designate Wildlife Area. Largely self taught as a printmaker, Bartlett worked in a style that once identified as his, immediately transfers to his other images -- primarily landscapes. His hard-wood blocks are extensively carved with a seemingly endless array of grooves, notches, cuts, and twists. Every inch of the surface is worked into the composition. Works from the 1940s tend to be in ten by seven in rectangular formats but in later years the shapes became increasingly irregular. He made a career as a printmaker specializing in wood engraving and as an illustrator. Even a casual glance tells the view that his landscapes subjects are made with a fondness and affection for his native Wisconsin. His prints are in museums around the country. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has an especially large collection. This print is titled and signed in pencil.
