About
Why this artist matters now
Henry Inman was an American painter of portraiture and landscape who worked during the early nineteenth century Romantic period. Active primarily in New York, he developed a fluid brushwork technique in oil that captured both the psychological presence of his sitters and the atmospheric qualities of the American countryside. His work was included in MoMA's landmark 1943 exhibition Romantic Painting in America, establishing his significance within the canon of early American Romantic practice.
