An Intimate Look at William Glackens and the Eight

NSU Art Museum, Fort Lauderdale

Ft. Lauderdale | Florida | USA

Oct 16, 2010 - Jan 09, 2011

The Museum of Art is the repository of the William Glackens estate and has among its holdings a large collection of paintings and works on paper by this intriguing turn-of-the-century American artist. Along with fellow painters Robert Henri, Everett Shinn, Ernest Lawson, Maurice Prendergast, John Sloan and George Luks, Glackens sought to change the face of American art in the first decade of the twentieth century. Their goal was to paint life the way it was being lived. Glackens and his fellow artists brought a grittiness to American painting that had, until then, been dominated by the society portraits of John Singer Sargent and the picturesque coastal scenes of Winslow Homer. Included in this exhibition are works by William Glackens and his contemporaries along with a special installation of a significant selection of landscapes created by Glackens spanning the period 1908 through the 1930s.
