William Glackens 1904

"William Glackens" is a 1904 portrait by Robert Henri, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement. The painting depicts Glackens, a fellow artist and member of the movement, in a formal pose, with his dark suit and white shirt contrasting sharply against the dark background. Henri's use of bold brushstrokes and realistic style emphasizes Glackens' presence and captures the essence of the era. This portrait, like much of Henri's work, embodies the Ashcan School's focus on capturing the realities of everyday life and portraying individuals from all walks of society.
