Blind Singers 1912

"Blind Singers" is a 1912 painting by American artist Robert Henri, known for his contributions to the Ashcan School movement. This painting, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on everyday life, depicts two blind singers, one with a guitar in their lap and the other with a guitar resting on their shoulder. The singers' expressive faces and the vibrant, textured brushwork capture the energy of their music and the rawness of their street performances. Henri's work often explored the human condition and the beauty found in everyday life, and "Blind Singers" exemplifies this theme.
