William Michael Harnett
American Realist artist
born 1848 - died 1892
An Irish-American painter who helped pioneer a trompe l'oeil
(literally, "fool the eye") style of realistic painting. He painted
still lifes of common household objects arranged in such a way that the
painting was to be mistaken for the objects themselves. These objects
included musical instruments, firearms, and even paper currency, similar
to contemporary John Haberle and successor Otis Kaye.
Harnett died on October 29, 1892 at the age of 44.
