James Glackens: Three Tomatoes Still Life (1900s American Print)

Own a vibrant slice of American art history with this spectacular fine art reproduction of William Glackens's "Three Tomatoes". Painted around 1915, this still life explodes with the bright, lush colors of Impressionism, showcasing the artist's celebrated shift towards a brighter, Renoir-inspired palette.

William James Glackens was a foundational member of The Eight (and the Ashcan School), initially known for gritty, realistic depictions of New York urban life. However, after engaging deeply with French art on a 1912 trip to Europe, his style underwent a radical and joyous transformation.

• A Shift to Color: This still life, featuring the simple, humble tomato, is a testament to Glackens's mastery of color and light. The bright reds and rich hues of the fruit are rendered with feathery, visible brushstrokes that capture their luminosity and create a delicate, shimmery surface—a technique directly influenced by the chromatic experiments of the French Impressionists.

• Intimate Subject: Glackens often turned to still life and scenes of leisure in his later career, finding profound beauty and joy in the ordinary. "Three Tomatoes" is an intimate, concentrated study of form and color, celebrating the simple pleasure of daily life.

• Historical Context: This work stands as a key piece bridging early American Realism and the adoption of high-key color palettes in American Modernism, making it a critical, yet visually accessible, work in his legacy.

This print is an essential acquisition for collectors of American Impressionism, Ashcan School history, and elegant still life art.
