biografische angaben: 1909—ca. 1949. American painter and muralist. A native of San Francisco, Bertrand was a lithographer as well as an easel artist. He had been a student of Spencer Macky at the California School of fine Arts, where he later taught lithography. In 1927, he won the Anne Bremer scholarship, enabling him to make "outstanding contributions to the development of the graphic arts of the West" as both an easel artist and lithographer. He was primarily a landscape painter. Reporting on one exhibit, a critic commented that Bertrand used "freezing blues, whites, and greys" in his oils in a "small but icy collection of arctic landscapes". One popular lithograph that he made was "Sierra Fantasy". Fellow artist George Harris painted his name as the "author" of books titled Rape, Mayhem, and Vagrancy in the "law library" at Coit Tower. In 1942 he won an Abraham Rosenburg Scholarship enabling him to continue his study of color lithography. (source: Zakheim Jewett, 1983)
