Joseph Kleitsch came to the U.S. from Hungary in the early 1900s, settling in California in 1920. His 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 late 19th-century manner. His move to California brought about significant changes in his painting approach, and by about 1922 Kleitsch had developed a bold, Post-Impressionist style characterized by a high-keyed palette and loose, energetic brush work. His subjects continued to include portraits and informal figurative works, along with plein- air landscapes, coastal scenes, genre compositions, and street scenes.

In 1926 Kleitsch traveled to Europe for a period of nearly two years and produced a similarly eclectic body of work, returning to California in 1928. The following few years in his career indicate he was moving in a direction that was increasingly influenced by emerging modernist trends. A number of his post-European works from 1928 onward are marked by a streamlined approach utilizing simplified forms and expressionist distortions. Kleitsch also broadened his palette at this time, producing works that ranged from low-keyed tonalism to those that were bright, high-keyed, and luminescent. Joseph Kleitsch died in 1931 at the age of 49. For the #1 Joseph Kleitsch source visit www.MKelleyart.com or call Michael Kelley at 626-577-5657.
