There he studied under William Merritt Chase and Charles Warren Eaton. For a short time Bartlett had a studio in Boston before moving to Portland, Oregon, where he worked as a commercial artist for the Foster-Kleiser Company. He then relocated to California, and briefly had a studio in San Francisco before finally settling in Los Angeles in 1915.
