DescriptionBartlett's work "Rhapsody", a career-defining painting which had it debut at the Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, in 1976, is a monumental piece, comprising 987 one-foot-square painted steel plates. The work reads as a survey of advanced painting theories of the last century, referencing an array of techniques and styles from the pointillism of Georges Seurat (1859-1891) to the geometry and hatch-work of Sol LeWitt (1928-2007). Here we see three etchings based on "Rhapsody" which not only illustrate the variety in the style of the piece, but also serve as a more accessible snapshot of the work.On View
