Robert Henri
Robert Henri, (1865-1921) was an important American Realist and a person in The Ashcan School. Henri was interested in the spectacle of common life. He focused on individuals, strangers, quickly passing inside the streets in towns and cities. He'd a sympathetic portrayal rather that the comic portrayal of people, often using a dark background to increase the warmth of the baby portrayed. His works use a heavy impasto which stressed the materiality of the paint and also the painter. He influenced Glackens, Luks, Shinn and Sloan. In 1906, he was elected to the National Academy of Design; however, if painters in his circle were rejected for that Academy’s 1907 exhibition, he accused fellow jurors of bias and walked off of the jury, resolving to prepare a show of his own. He would later reference the Academy as a cemetery of art painting techniques.
