His art is known all over this country and has been purchased for collections in Europe and the Orient. He lives a quiet, secluded life in the Sierra Foothills where folks have little knowledge of their famous artist neighbor. Even in the art world few people know him, as he rarely attends shows or receptions and markets his artwork through a small number of agents. Hartwig taught himself to paint by studying the "Old Masters." He was first attracted by the charm and romance of classic art and particularly to those artists who attempted to capture the poignancy of the past. He has managed to capture the light, color and style of those great old artists. Though most of his work has a western theme, Hartwig is a versatile painter and a significant portion of his paintings are landscapes and still life. Heinie Hartwig's work has been compared to Albert Bierstadt and John Constable for its romanticism, European feel, and composition. While we always have a good sample of his Indian images for which he is well known, the majority of our presentation both in number and in force are the landscapes. Heinie Hartwig started painting in 1970, working on his art in the evenings. A year later he quit his job and began painting for a living. He had grown up in the Santa Clara valley, and left for three years to spend time traveling through Europe with the Army. He was in Germany as the Berlin wall went up and persuaded his wife, Eva, to leave East Germany to marry him. Returning to Santa Clara, he worked pouring concrete, and spent a lot of time running marathons. In 1964 he held the record for long distance running in Northern California. By 1991, he was in Who's Who in American Art. Hartwig's paintings have been added to a number of museums, purchased by collectors and celebrities, and earned high prices at countless auctions. Probably the greatest indication of the high regard for his paintings is this, the number of paintings sold to happy collectors around the world. Heinie Hartwig's work from year to year maintains a style and flair all his own, yet the paintings change subtly. Hartwig strives continually to improve and explore his abilities to use the materials to their utmost and to get the essence of his visual ideas. <:AtomicElement>
