Sheffield-based Bart Elsbach is one of America’s premier landscape artists, greatly influenced by the works of 17th and 18th Dutch Masters as well as the Hudson River School. His work is set in locales throughout America and Europe, but more often depicts scenes from New England and has been described by some as a “celebration of the Berkshires.”
Mr. Elsbach was born in 1961, raised in Manhattan, and attended The Dalton School and the Art Students’ League in New York City. He received his BA from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY and an MFA at New York University. He has taught privately, and at the Berkshire School in Sheffield and The Interlaken School of Art in Stockbridge.
Mr. Elsbach’s work has won numerous awards from the Sheffield Art League and the Kent Art League. He is currently represented by OK Harris Gallery in New York, David Klein Gallery in Birmingham, the Ferrin Gallery in Lenox and Townsend Gallery in Atlanta.
