About Dana Bartlett

Born

1878

Died

1957

Nationality

American

Dana Bartlett (1878–1957) was an American painter and illustrator documented by Wikidata and the VIAF authority network, which connects Library of Congress and Getty ULAN records for the same person. The collected evidence distinguishes this artist from Dana W. Bartlett, a Congregationalist minister and writer whose Wikipedia page refers to a different individual. VIAF associates the artist’s authority record with the title Still Life with Ginger Jar and with a bibliographic reference concerning early artists in Laguna Beach and the Impressionists. Those references provide useful research context but do not, by themselves, establish Bartlett’s membership in a formal movement. The present source pack also lacks a detailed training history, exhibition chronology, and comprehensive catalogue of works. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Bartlett through paintings, illustrative work, authority-catalog records, and auction listings that require careful identity matching.

PaintingIllustrationStill life

Common works and media

Authority data identifies Bartlett as a painter and illustrator, supporting paintings and illustrative works as the principal types collectors may encounter. VIAF also links the artist’s record to the title Still Life with Ginger Jar, providing limited evidence for still-life subject matter. The source pack does not establish specific paint media, print techniques, edition practices, sculpture, ceramics, or a comprehensive list of recurring subjects.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with identity control because the artist shares a name with Dana W. Bartlett, a minister and writer. Authority evidence supports classifying the artist as a painter and illustrator. The collected Appraisily input indicates auction records exist, but the page fetch was rate-limited, so specific lots, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, and provenance were not verified here. Use only records demonstrably attributed to the American artist who lived from 1878 to 1957, keeping same-name records separate. When detailed lots are available, compare like work types and read auction results as historical observations rather than current-value forecasts. This evidence is adequate for core entity matching but too thin for price trends, rarity claims, or medium-specific conclusions.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Illustrative works

Value drivers

  1. Correct artist identification and exclusion of records belonging to the same-name minister Dana W. Bartlett
  2. Matching comparable records by documented work type, particularly painting versus illustration
  3. Sale dates, realized prices, auction-house context, and comparable lots when verified individual auction records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected Appraisily page request was rate-limited, so individual lots, sale dates, realized prices, and auction-house attributions were not verified from the source pack.
  • The available evidence does not support a price trend, rarity claim, formal movement affiliation, or medium-specific valuation conclusion.
  • Records and images for Dana W. Bartlett, the minister and writer, must not be assigned to the artist.
