For those not familiar with the artist his biography from askart reads: "William Bartlett, born in Dover, Massachusetts in 1960, knew from an early age that he would be an artist. His earliest training was at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts Saturday classes with teacher Ralph Rosenthal. At the age of seventeen, Bartlett became a member of the Copley Society of Boston. Soon after, he attended the Museum of Fine Arts School. He went to Monhegan Island, Maine and studied with Don Stone NA, AWS, and spent four years studying with Joseph L.C. Santoro ANA, AWS. Impassioned to continue his education as a traditional realist, Bartlett spent five years at the studio of Paul Ingbretson, a "Boston School" master who teaches the methods of the 19th-century Paris ateliers. less
