This richly illustrated volume provides a comprehensive introduction to William Glackens (1870-1938), one of the liveliest and most influential American painters of the early twentieth century. A founder of the Ashcan School, along with painters such as Robert Henri and John Sloan, Glackens was crucial to the introduction of modern art in the United States through his collaboration with Albert C. Barnes and his championing of landmark exhibitions of American and European avant-garde art. The finest examples of his works over a fifty-year career, including paintings previously unknown to the general public, are reproduced here-from intimate nudes, portraits, and figure studies to vivid still lifes, vibrant street scenes, and landscapes, in which he captured people and their surroundings with matchless spontaneity and spirit. The book features essays by important scholars examining the artist's relationship with French painting, his social observation and interest in costume, his depiction of women, and his role as a tastemaker.\u003cb\u003eAvis Berman\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent writer and art historian. \u003cb\u003eElizabeth Thompson Colleary\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar. \u003cb\u003eHeather Campbell Coyle\u003c\/b\u003e is the curator of American art at the Delaware Art Museum. \u003cb\u003eJudith F.
