William Michael Harnett, who mainly became known for his still-life paintings, was an important American painter of Naturalism.
Born on August 10, 1848 in Clonakilty, Ireland.
Died on October 29, 1892 in New York, NY.
Having studied in Philadelphia and New York, William Michael Harnett gained importance with his still lifes, in which he depicted books, weapons and musical instruments in their original sizes. By their great materiality and plasticity, his deceptively realistic depictions of the objects witness his exceptional powers of observation. |
