William James Glackens Girl Green Turban c. 1913
William James Glackens: Girl in Green Turban, William James Glackens, c. 1913, Oil on canvas, Philadelphia native William Glackens is best known for his early work as a member of the Ashcan School, a group of New York artists who focused on realistic scenes of urban life. This work dates from later in his career, when he had decided that being a true modernist was more about bold form and color than about gritty subject matter. Glackens was continually inspired by the formal innovations of the European avant-garde. Here, for example, he seems to be channeling Matisse in his use of jarring color and decorative patterns. Overall: 24 x 18 in. (61 x 45.7 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William James Glackens' masterpiece, "Girl in Green Turban" created around 1913. Glackens, a Philadelphia native and prominent member of the Ashcan School, was renowned for his realistic portrayals of urban life. However, this particular artwork represents a shift in his career as he embraced bold form and vibrant colors to embody the essence of modernism. Influenced by European avant-garde movements, Glackens drew inspiration from Matisse's innovative techniques evident in this piece. The use of jarring color combinations and intricate decorative patterns creates an arresting visual impact that captivates viewers. Measuring at 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm), this oil on canvas painting exemplifies Glackens' mastery in capturing the essence of his subject matter while experimenting with unconventional artistic elements. The girl adorned with a green turban becomes the focal point amidst a vividly colored backdrop, radiating both elegance and mystery. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable print as a testament to Glackens' evolution as an artist and his ability to transcend traditional boundaries. It serves as an invitation for art enthusiasts to delve into the world of early twentieth-century American art where realism merges seamlessly with modernist aesthetics.
