Donald Blagge Barton (Massachusetts, 1903 - 1990)
A painter of Impressionist marine views and landscapes, Donald Barton was especially noted for his scenes of fishing boats in Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts. He also traveled in 1927 to Europe and North Africa, and in 1928 to New Mexico and Arizona, where he painted pueblo Indians and the Grand Canyon.
By 1935, he turned much of his energy to a job as occupational therapist at the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health and to photography because he need to support his family financially.
Many of his canvases were stored for years in the barn of his home in Fitchburg, and were rediscovered in 1987 by a city planner from Boston and were subsequently exhibited in Boston and New Jersey. Thus, he earned attention for his painting talents just before his death in 1990.
