"George Benjamin Luks" is a 1899 portrait by American painter William James Glackens. This portrait depicts the artist’s friend, George Luks, a fellow member of the Ashcan School. Glackens uses bold brushstrokes and dark tones in this oil painting, which depicts Luks with a thoughtful expression. The painting captures the gritty realism of the Ashcan School, which was known for its portrayals of everyday life in urban America. The painting was likely executed in a representational style, typical of the Ashcan movement.
