A Cuban artist in the Barbizon mood, Esteban Chartrand's landscape art enjoyed considerable success in his native land. Art historian Gary Libby has pointed out that Chartrand's "type of sentimental landscape eulogized the palm tree and the small stream, and was destined to a long and popular life in Cuban art."
Like Joseph Rusling Meeker and the equally elusive George F. Higgins, Chartrand paints in a style which enhances the natural mystery of the tropical landscape, which, unlike its Hudson River School counterpart, never lends itself entirely to a tamed aesthetic of total beauty. That the rough, slightly threatening air of the terrain could be so wonderfully captured is a tribute to both the artist's ability and the dimensions of the setting itself. ECP
