Bo Bartlett is an American realist known for his complex multi-layered narrative paintings. Working in the tradition of realism that stretches from Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer to Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, Bartlett's bold narrative approach has made him one of the leading painters of a generation of American artists that redefined realist painting for our time. Bartlett's accessible style and subject matter examine his personal, often epic explorations of family, his roots in the American South, home, water and the sea, beauty, life and death. This long-awaited mid-career retrospective is published to help celebrate the opening of the new Bo Bartlett Centre in his hometown of Columbus, Georgia. The exquisitely designed volume is the first full publication to document Bartlett's evolution as an artist, his personal creative process and to place his work in the context of the long-standing tradition of American realism.
