Jennifer Bartlett, born in 1941, moved from California to the East Coast in 1965, to study at the Yale School of Art and Architecture. She was exploring the works of modernist pioneers Arshile Gorky, Piet Mondrian, and Sol LeWitt. But Bartlett had also been doing fantastical drawings in color—of Indian settlers, Cinderellas, underwater universes—since she was a child. She began to combine those ethereal figures with abstraction. Bartlett died last year in Amagansett, at 81. This exhibition features a selection of paintings and works on paper inspired by a garden in Nice, where Bartlett lived for the winter of 1979–80. —Elena Clavarino
