Jennifer Bartlett spent the winter of 1979-80 making hundreds of drawings of the overgrown garden, cypress trees and empty pool at a borrowed villa in Nice. She produced over 200 studies of the same scene in a variety of styles and media from different angles and at different times of day. Here we see that garden in Bartlett’s signature large scale multi-paneled grid format which allowed her to explore the play between light and shadow, abstraction and representation. Bartlett’s work is found in major public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Tate Modern and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
