The William J. Glackens Collection in the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale

This book is the first comprehensive guide to the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale's extensive collection of works by William Glackens, an artist first heralded as an Ashcan urban realist painter and later embraced as America s foremost Impressionist. The Museum is the largest repository of Glackens s work, bequeathed by his son Ira in 1991, and from the collection select highlights were chosen for their aesthetic merit and historical significance. The book represents the first scholarly overview of the Glackens Collection and as such contributes to a new depth of understanding and level of recognition for this important American artist. The catalog includes more than 80 photos and full color illustrations.
