He studied in Paris and took a liberal position when some physicians disparaged homeopathy. His view while conventional felt that it's major points ought to be considered by medical science. This letter is written to his friend James R. Williams in Constantine Michigan on behalf of his brother Edwin 1812-1903 who wanted a loan to establish a sheep business in Wisconsin. Dr. Bartlett lists nine serious questions as to the feasibility of his brother's proposed idea. He is concerned for the good of his brother and clearly is willing to help him financially. In an interesting aside he speaks of the concerns of the whale men in Massachusetts who fear the rise of land oil will end their profession. He notes the rising sickness contemporary accounts speak of lung disease thought to be tuberculosis. Finally he notes the economic issue and hopes for a new tariff undefined. In 1852 he was among the Medical examiners at Harvard's Anatomical Museum. Folded addressed and stamped New Bedford MA April 21 with partial wax red seal. unknown

White dj with color illustrations and black text Gray boards with green text. 6 7-78 pp. Features many bw and some color illustrations. "The creative process lies not in imitating but in paralleling nature translating the impulse received from nature into the medium of expression thus vitalizing this medium. The picture should be alive the statue should be alive and every work of art should be alive." Thus Hans Hofmann wrote nearly half a century ago. He left the Old World Germany for the New at the age of 50. In 1948 when the retrospective exhibition was held at the Addison Gallery of American Art Hofmann was 68; he had been in the United States for 18 years a citizen for seven years. Yet he was scarcely recognized in Europe or America as an artist of significance and had never had a full-scale retrospective exhibition of his work. Beginning with a group exhibition in Germany in 1909 he had been given 12 one-man shows and had been included in four group exhibitions before the exhibit at Andover. Subsequently he was to have 33 one-man shows and to be in over 60 group exhibitions including the 1960 Venice Biennale in which he was one of the four artists chosen to represent America. The catalogue of the 1948 retrospective at the Addison Gallery incorporated Hofmann's writings all originally written in German some pieces translated fluently others awkwardly paraphrasing the original. He had written them over a period of 40 years for periodicals journals or his own teaching purposes occasionally they overlapped there was no sequence of development. In the original volume of Search for the Real published in 1948 it was felt desirable to edit his writing as little as possible nevertheless to present the essays in the most lucid English true to his meaning printed only with his approval. "The Search for the Real in the Visual Arts" "Sculpture" and "Painting and Culture" were all printed in full. The section "Excerpts from the Teaching of Hans Hofmann" was composed of selections from his essays "On the Aims of Art" and "Plastic Creation." The last brief section "Terms" was gleaned from the other essays lectures diagrams notes and cryptic memoranda written to himself headed by one of Hoffman's diagrams. It was a further distillation of his own definitions in the nature of a vocabulary. In the last 18 years of his life recognition was his nationally and internationally in proportion to the originality and depth of his thinking his versatility and comprehensiveness his productivity and vigor. His was a prophetic visual expression of action in a three-dimensional world on a vibrating two-dimensional surface. He was a dynamic teacher the wide range of his influence is to be seen in the list of artists comprising an exhibition "Hans Hofmann and His Students" circulated in America and abroad during the three years before his death in 1966. Among the 32 painters and sculptors in this exhibition were students as varied in their developed personal idioms as Helen Frankenthaler Larry Rivers Louise Nevelson Richard Stankiewicz and Alan Kaprow. Running simultaneously and also shown in South America and Europe as well as in the United States a one-man show of 40 major works initiated by the Museum of Modern Art New York is a testimony to the words of the "dean of the New York School of Abstract-Expressionist Painting."
