BIOGRAPHY FOR JOSEPH KLEITSCH (1882-1931)
Joseph Kleitsch came to the U.S. from Hungary
in the early 1900s, settling in California
in 1920. Joseph Kleitsch's works span
a broad spectrum of subjects and styles
beginning with early academic pictures
consisting of still life, landscape,
and genre subjects painted in a detailed,
often photo-realistic Victorian manner.
After relocating to California in 1920,
Joseph Kleitsch developed a bold
post-impressionistic style
characterized by a high-keyed palette
and loose, energetic brush work.
Subjects continued to include portraits
and informal figurative works,
along with landscapes, coastal scenes,
genre compositions, and street scenes.
In 1926 Joseph Kleitsch traveled to Europe
for a period of two years and produced
a similarly eclectic body of work,
returning to California in 1928.
The following few years in Kleitsch's
career indicate that he was moving
in a direction that was increasingly
influenced by emerging modernist ideas,
and a number of his post-European works
from 1928 onward are characterized by
simplified forms and expressionistic
distortions. Kleitsch also broadened his palette
at this time, producing works ranging from
somber and low-keyed tonalism
to a luminous high-keyed approach.
Joseph Kleitsch died in 1931 at the age of 49.
Kelley Gallery has specialized in the work
of Joseph Kleitsch since 1987.
