Description
Philadelphia native William Glackens is best known for his work as a member of the Eight, a New York-based group that focused on gritty scenes of urban life and pushed against the conservatism dominating American painting. Glackens was also one of Albert Barnes's closest friends; the two were schoolmates at Philadelphia's Central High during the 1880s. Painted when the artist was 38, this self-portrait reflects Glackens's study of French impressionism: each of the animated brushstrokes is visible and moving in a different direction.
