Biography: Joseph Kleitsch came to the U.S. from Hungary in the early 1900s, settling in California around 1920. Joseph Kleitsch's works span a broad spectrum of subjects and styles, beginning with early academic pictures consisting of still life, landscape, and genre subjects painted in a late 19th-century manner. Once in California, Joseph Kleitsch developed a bold, Post-Impressionist style characterized by a high-keyed palette and loose, energetic brush work. Joseph Kleitsch's subjects continued to include portraits and informal figurative works, along with plein- air landscapes, coastal scenes, genre compositions, and street scenes. In 1926 Joseph Kleitsch traveled to Europe for a period of nearly two years and produced a similarly eclectic body of work, returning to California in 1928. The following few years in Joseph Kleitsch's career indicate that he was moving in a direction that was increasingly influenced by emerging modernist trends. A number of Joseph Kleitsch's post-European works from 1928 onward are marked by a streamlined approach utilizing simplified forms and expressionist distortions. Joseph Kleitsch also broadened his palette at this time, ranging from somber and low-keyed tonalism to a luminescent high-keyed approach. Joseph Kleitsch died in 1931 at the age of 49.
