Scarlett was Canadian-born, came of age in the Midwest, and spent few important years in Hollywood, where he designed stage sets. He was an industrial and theatrical designer, jeweler, and artist who turned to abstraction after meeting the Swiss artist Paul Klee in 1919. His work from this early period echoes Klee’s use of color, his confidence in naïve, primitive forms, and his blend of abstraction and figuration. In its flat spatial qualities it prefigures the Indian Space painting of the 1940s by a decade.
In spite of his self-imposed obscurity over the past half-century, Rolph Scarlett’s paintings are represented in a number of significant museum collections including the Guggenheim (which still owns over 30 works), the Smithsonian Institution, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (from the important Leslie Collection), the Montreal Museum of Art, and the de Young Museum in San Francisco.

Rolph Scarlett Abstract Modernist Painting, 1960s.
(Scarlett was born 1889 in Guelph, Ontario. His long life as an artist began in his teens as a jewelry designer and fabricator. At the age of fourteen he began to design jewelry professionally, a craft which he continued off and on for the rest of his life.
His desire to learn more about art took him to New York in 1908, when American artists were just beginning to experience strong influences from major modern European artists of the day such as Cezanne and Picasso.
Throughout his long career he produced, oil paintings, many works on paper, unique sculptured jewelry, modernist style industrial and furniture designs. Currently there are over 800 of his designs at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Design Collection.)

A fabulous never-before-seen surrealist painting c. 1940 by American modernist painter Rolph Scarlett and from the Esses collection. Scarlett’s career extended nearly 75 years and his early period is synonymous with the founding of the Museum of Non-Objective Art, later the Guggenheim. #modernart #artoftheday #interiordesign #artadvisory #surrealart #surrealism #landscapepainting #abstractart @guggenheim #artonpaper #paintingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq6VfJJv12n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
