- Bo Bartlett's extraordinary paintings document his experience of being alive in this world. He recently sent me a beautifully written and revealing letter about his life. With this he included some photographs from his days growing up in Georgia in the 1950's and 60's.
This film is my attempt to use Bo's own words and art to convey how I understand his life and the tragic and poetic sensibility he shares with us all.
💞wonderful art wonderful man...inspirational 💞
Bo Bartlett makes me a better person. From the time that I first watched Bo and Betsy's wonderful film: "See: An Art Road Trip" to the many hours I have spent looking at his amazing paintings, I slow down enough to realize what is really important for me.
Deeply moving paintings.
This is so beautifully and powerfully done John ,thank you for this gift!!!!!
Beautiful movie! A great artist!
There is more truth in art than in truth, thanks
and the words of the artist attest to that.
Thanks

THANK YOU for sharing
A thoughtful and moving video. Beautiful paintings. Thank you for your openness, a true artist.
Sooooo beautiful paintings ,I agree very much Hopper.So moving story.Many thanks for sharing .
I have just been introduced to Bo Bartlett's art through a video entitled "Great Museums" as seen on PBS. Bo's work was shown in the Morris Museum of Art, for great southern artists. I was very taken with his work, and with an internet search, that brought me to CZcams, and your moving tribute to him and his art story. A very enjoyable afternoon, indeed! Thank you both.
Thanks SO much for your very kind words! Here is another video i made about Bo: czcams.com/video/nUsiQ_TA3So/video.html

Nice job John...
I'm an ex- PAFA and I really enjoy your videos. You're a super fun guy. Plus, Doris Staffel was my favorite teacher at PCA, where I graduated in 1986. Now I paint fulltime in France. Would be happy to host you!
Stunning
Thanks Julia! Speaking of stunning, you are a wonderful singer!
Thanks John....www.janicetantonblog.com did my album art - she introduced me to Bo's work. She'll be heading down to paint with him soon. When I saw Bo's work my heart melted. It's wonderful you created this piece. xo
Hi Julia, that is very cool. Ask Janice to say hello to Bo for me! There was another guy at our art school named Vincent Desiderio who was a friend of Bo's and has ended up being very big in the international art world. You might find my film on him interesting as well.

Such a beautiful film. Just wonderfully soothing to watch--beautiful and evocative. What happened to the brother the film is dedicated to?
True Americana.
very Hopper-like
Unlike Hopper, his subjects stare right at the viewer, portraits I suppose. Hopper painted snapshots of the lonely, with all their flaws , anxieties and longing. Bartlett's work is beautiful, but comes off a bit slick and pretentious.
The music sounds so javanese
