Lyme Art Colony
American, (April 24, 1902–March 16, 1967) In Lyme: 1921-1939
Bertram Bruestle spent most of his childhood living in Lyme, Connecticut during the summer and in New York City during the winter. In Lyme, he developed an intense love for nature and throughout his life Bruestle photographed, filmed, collected and catalogued a wide variety of plants and animals. In the city he visited the Museum of Natural History as well as arts-related events.
Bertram was very close to his father, artist George M. Bruestle, one of the most beloved members of the Lyme Art Colony. Many evenings were spent "talking shop" with his father and friends. Bertram spent a lot of time with his father's friends artists Robert Vonnoh, Edward Rook, Louis Paul Dessar, George Bogert, and Emil Carlson.
During the early 1920s Bertram's work resembled his father's, yet according to Roger Dennis, who became a close friend, Bertram turned to wildlife painting in an effort to distance himself from painting the Lyme landscapes for which his father was so well known.
Bert moved to Maryland in the late 1920 where he lectured and wrote on bird life. On June 5, 1930 he married Mildred Buckley from Frederick, Maryland. After his father died in 1939, Bertram took over his father's studio and house in Lyme. He became very active in the Lyme Art Association, serving as Secretary and then President. Although he never received the national recognition or stature of his father, Bertram Bruestle carried on the tradition of painting Lyme landscapes well into the 1960s, developing his won distinct style.
