Realism in Paintings



Robert Henri's strong sense of self is portrayed through Portrait of Carl Gustav Waldeck, 1896 as the man stands in a position of power while not being glorified, he gruff facial expression shows his true emotion which was captured by Henri.

Henri's elegant style is shown in The Dancer, 1910, with out exaggerating, an overwhelming amount of class and respect is shown because of her dress and beauty. 

Henri captures pure innocence in his painting The Beach Hat, 1914, a young woman ready to see the world is innocently portrayed with a beach hat on in this oil masterpiece by Robert Henri.
