Bertram Bruestle was born the year his father, the artist George Bruestle, settled in Lyme. As a boy, he accompanied the elder man on painting trips and absorbed what he could from his father’s friends Robert Vonnoh, Edward Rook, and other members of the Lyme Art Colony. Following a period as a wildlife painter, Bruestle took over his father’s home and studio and returned to the genre of landscape. The upland farmland depicted here recalls the bucolic qualities that first attracted artists to Lyme. Bruestle documented the endurance of these rural vistas well into the 1960s.
