Bentley Schaad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bentley Schaad (1925–1999), was a California modernist and art educator.

Bentley Schaad was born in Los Angeles, California in 1925.^[1] As an art student, he attended Jepson Art Institute, the Art Center in Pasadena, and the Claremont Colleges. A pupil, and later a colleague, of Henry Lee McFee, Schaad learned the principles of line, colour, and form. His proficiency as an artist and his technical aesthetic innovations enabled him to begin teaching art at Otis Art Institute. Bentley Schaad would spend the majority of his career as an instructor.^[2]

Bentley Schaad was a prolific artist in the West Coast modernist movement along with Henry Lee McFee, Rico Lebrun, and Richard Haines. Schaad utilized many concepts of the modernist aesthetic in his work. His paintings were often composed of many broken planes of color—with a concentration on shape, form, and structure of an object.^[3]
