Starboard Light 1935 - 1942

"Starboard Light," a watercolor painting created by Eugene Bartz between 1935 and 1942, depicts a weathered green nautical lamp with a blue glass lens. The detailed rendering of the lamp's surface, including its worn paint and metal accents, speaks to the artist's interest in realistic representation and the evocative power of everyday objects. The work is a testament to Bartz's ability to capture the essence of maritime life, highlighting both the beauty and the utilitarian nature of a humble object that guides sailors at sea.
