In the exhibition catalogue Trouble in Paradise
(1989, List Visual Arts Center, MIT) Curator Dana Friis-Hansen wrote:
"Harry Bartnick’s paintings are sinisterly seductive; their intimate scale and meticulous rendering draws us close to enjoy their lush surfaces, yet suddenly we discover the dis-concerting images of industrialized society’s voracious destruction of our environment. The earth is equated to the body, human activities to those of malevolent microbes."
