William Glackens-Painting

William James Glackens (13 martie 1870– 22 mai  1938) pictor realist american.

Glackens a studiat  la Academia de Arte Frumoase din Pennsylvania, apoi s-a mutat la  New York City si a fost unul dintre co-fondatorii asa numitei miscari artistice,  Ashcan School. Acest grup de artisti, botezat de catre presa “the Eight Independent Painters” sau The Eight, au ales sa-si expuna lucrarile fara aprobarea prealabila de catre juriile de specialitate.Artistul a devenit cunoscut datorita picturilor sale in culori intunecate cu scene de strada si din viata de zi cu zi . Lucrarile de mai tarziu au fost pictate in tonuri mai luminoase fiind influentate de  arta lui Renoir.

Artistii apartinand miscarii  The Eight au fost cunoscuti pentru stilul lor realist si sunt considerati figuri cheie ai miscarii realiste.Ei au pictat scene urbane si au introdus libertatea artisticain arta.Din randul lor faceau parte jurnalisti, scriitori sau  ilustratori, inainte de a deveni pictori.  Glackens a fost o parte integrala a acestui grup, elementele artei Ashcan fiind evidente in lucrarile sale din acea perioada.
