After writing about discovering Frederick Gaertner in this post<\/a>, I belatedly realized I had seen–on numerous occasions, no less–one of his paintings at the Cleveland Museum of Art<\/a>.  For some reason, I never connected that<\/em> Gaertner with my<\/em> Gaertner discovered at the Bonfoey Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Museum’s “The Furnace” is a large oil from Gaertner’s earlier period when his subject was Cleveland in its heyday; a Cleveland rocking 🙂 with industrial brawn.  Unfortunately, that Cleveland has faded into the The Burning River<\/a> lore.

BONUS RANT: Like the Dayton Art Institute’s site<\/a>,  the Cleveland Museum of Art’s site is slow and difficult to use, and fails on the basics.  A search for “Gaertner” produces several works, but “The Furnace”  isn’t among them.<\/p>\n
