"Sante Fe Chief" by Martin Ulbricht

 

The Chief was an American long-distance named passenger train of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway that ran between Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California.

 

The Santa Fe initiated the Chief in 1926 to supplement the California Limited. In 1936 the Super Chief was introduced, after the Super Chief was relaunched in 1948 with daily departures from LA and Chicago it gradually eclipsed the Chief as the standard bearer of the Santa Fe because of its timetable oriented to the Raton Pass transit. For some the Chief and San Francisco Chief ( which inherited the Chief, Turquoise lounge and other features in 1968) as deluxe integrated trains with both Pullman sleepers and fully reclining coach seating with all facilities; lounges and pleasure domes, available to all passengers were at least equal flagships better suited to the business and executive market.

 

From the mid 1960s the super Chief was only a small entirely separate section of the El Capitan seated vista train, the El Capitan passengers having no access to the Super Chiefs expensive eateries and bars which selling point was exclusion and service. The Chief was discontinued in 1968 due to high operating costs, competition from airlines, and the loss of Postal Office contracts.

Martin J. Ulbricht

 

Born in 1948, Martin Ulbricht has painted all his life having been inspired at a young age by artistic works seen in a wide variety of exhibitions.  He is largely self taught but an early inclination to pursue a career as an artist gave way to one in aviation.  His years in aviation allowed him the time to continue to develop his technique and style and this period of his life  provided a multiplicity of inspiration on a variety of themes.

 

"Self Portrait"

 

Ulbricht has an impressionistic/realistic approach to his subject matter being inspired by places he has visited, scenes he has seen and his own mood when painting.  Once he has a mental image of a subject, he likes to prepare the canvas to a ground colour to suit the image and he initially puts the whole image onto the canvas as quickly as possible. Time is then spent on the detailing and on reflection so bringing the painting up to its finished state.  It is this process which enables Ulbricht to create paintings which give the viewer constant pleasure.

 

Edward Seago has been a major influence with regard to his use of colour,  brushwork and the subjects he depicted, in particular his treatment of skies,  whilst Terence Cuneo  influenced Ulbricht's approach to transport based themes and John Singer Sargent has been an inspiration for Ulbricht's portraiture. 

 

The dominant themes in his work involve views of Venice, big skies, sunsets and beaches together with genre paintings of transport images involving more technical detail.  His contemporary landscapes, cityscapes, beach scenes and sunsets have become much sought after.  Portraiture has always been, and still remains, an abiding passion. 

 

Having decided to pursue a career as a professional artist, Terence Macklin's advice helped Ulbricht to be more focused with regard to his subjects.  As a professional artist, Ulbricht likes to remain flexible regarding style and subject but he always stays true to his premise that, whatever the painting it must give its owner constant pleasure.

 

Ulbricht exhibits and sells his work through galleries in the South East, London,  Lincolnshire, on the internet, at the Affordable Art Fair  and by private commission.
