William James Glackens (Philadelphia, March 13, 1870 - Westport, May 22, 1938) - anemones and oranges (1929-30) oil on canvas - SDMA San Diego Museum of Art
Glackens fu uno del "Gruppo degli otto" (The Eight), i fondatori della Ash Can School, movimento di pittura realistica (spesso confuso con il "gruppo degli otto" (The Eights) fondato da Robert Henri). Si interessò molto all'impressionismo, subendone palesemente l'influenza, e trascorse molto tempo in Europa. La sua conoscenza della pittura e il suo acuto discernimento fece di lui uno dei consiglieri influenti di Albert C. Barnes, per la sua collezione di quadri.
Glackens was one of the "Group of Eight" (The Eight), the founders of the Ash Can School, a realist painting movement (often confused with the "Group of Eight" (The Eights) founded by Robert Henri). He was very interested in Impressionism, clearly influenced by it, and spent much time in Europe. His knowledge of painting and keen discernment made him one of Albert C. Barnes' influential advisors on his collection of paintings.
