Four Seasons: A Print Series by Jennifer Bartlett

Thursday, August 23 to Sunday, July 13, 2008,
Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art

Contemporary painter, printmaker, and sculptor, Jennifer Bartlett (American, born 1941) combines design, pattern, and familiar imagery, while employing as many as 79 colors of ink and screens to make complex images of the four seasons, a time-honored theme in art. This series of screenprints, created between 1990 and 1993, features the weather, flora, fauna, esoteric objects, and even a skeleton to denote each season.

Jennifer Bartlett received her M.F.A. from Yale University in 1965, and has since been very active in both New York and California. Throughout her career, Bartlett's work has been dominated by the continued use of systems and grid patterns, which provide a means of exploring lively chaos to themes of variation and repetition. Bartlett's work is represented in major museum collections internationally. Four Seasons: A Print Series by Jennifer Bartlett will be on view through July 13, 2008.
