<p>Throughout his short but illustrious career, Ernest Haskell&rsquo;s ceaseless drive to acquire new knowledge and to create an ambitious body of paintings, posters, prints, and drawings allowed him to emerge as one of the most skilled American artisans of the early twentieth century.  Because Haskell was both self-taught and familiar with widely-promoted artistic ideals, his work as offers a unique vantage point from which to assess aspects of the era in which his career unfolded. By comparing Haskell&rsquo;s techniques to those of his contemporaries, this exhibition (as in the related publication) situates Haskell&rsquo;s work within its historical context, and thereby, demonstrates his social and artistic impact. By fully engaging with his craft, How He Was to His Talents captures the ceaseless personal drive of one American artist and offers a sharply-focused glimpse into a bygone era.</p>
