American Realism

These American Realist works move between quiet city streets and open water, with figures caught under lamplight or small boats set against open sky. Still lifes of orchids and flowers sit alongside scenes like "Washington Square" by William James Glackens, sharing the same attention to ordinary daylight and everyday gathering places.
