Annie Virginia Latham Bartlett (December 6, 1865 – April 21, 1948) was an American sculptor from West Virginia whose works were exhibited at the New York World's Fair in 1939.[1]
Early life and education
She was born in 1865 to General George R. Latham and Caroline A. Thayer Latham.[1][2] Her father was a Congressman and later the U.S. consul to Australia.[1] She married Leonidas Bartlett in 1885. She attended the Maryland Institute at Baltimore in 1922 to study the fine arts.
Career
Bartlett took up sculpting after her schooling. She developed a process which hardened local clays without firing them, mixing them with her own ingredients.[3] She would then paint and varnish her works so that they would resemble colored porcelain.[3] Many of her subjects were traditional busts, in addition to figures which related to West Virginia's culture and history.[4] She would also make figurines of some of her neighbors.[5] These neighbor portraits, with names like "Schoolma'am" and "Madonna of the Mountains" were featured in an exhibit at the International Institute in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1936.[5] Her work and similar have been described as "Southern Highland Potteries" after Allen Eaton's book Handicrafts of the Southern Highlands which described works by Bartlett and others.[6]
Her work is held in The Johnston Collection in Spartanburg, South Carolina.[7]
