BIOGRAPHY:
Henry Mills Walcott was a realist painter of figures and landscapes influenced by Impressionism, but retaining a somewhat sharper contour of form more reminiscent of Manet than Renoir and Monet.Walcott was interested in what might be termed a story-telling, illustrative realismthe semi-photographic look of the figure, primarily young women and girls, more than a painterly vision.He was credited with being skillful with the depiction of multiple figures, both in drawing and arrangement. He was a member of the Society of American Artists, and became an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1903.Walcott's intimate handling of such scenes tends to place his viewers in the middle of the berry-pickers or the youngsters exultant at being out of school.
