  Biography
Hals evolved a technique that was close to impressionism in its looseness, and he painted with increasing freedom as he grew older.
Hals continued to use this technique, which gave a striking immediacy to his perceptive portrayals of character, all his life, painting with increasing freedom as he grew older.
Hals was for a long time regarded as a competent but limited painter whose consistent neglect of any subjects other than portraits gave him no place in the history of significant art.

 hals, franz
Hals was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and probably trained by the Dutch painter Karel van Mander.
In these group portraits Hals demonstrates his ability to catch each man in a characteristic pose, thus giving the group an air of informality and naturalness; each individual is clearly portrayed, yet all are linked in a well-balanced pattern in line and color.
In this group portrait, Hals achieves a new dignity and feeling for the character of the subjects that is absent from his earlier works, yet retains a spontaneous effect by the dexterity and facility of his brushwork.

 Franz Hals Biography
Frans Hals was born in Antwerp, of Flemish parents, who moved to the Dutch city of Haarlem when Hals was just a boy.
Hals was a student of Karl van Mander, a Mannerist painter, who had lived Italy between 1600 and 1603, before setting up his own workshop in Haarlem.
The compassionate understanding that is eminently visible in Hals' latest works becomes even more moving when it is recalled, that in the final years of his life, the fiscal difficulties that had always plagued him, became acute.

Hals had two painter brothers and five painter sons, but the only artist of substance among them was his brother Dirk (1591-1656), who painted charming small interior scenes.

 artnet.com Magazine Reviews - FRANZ KLINE: ARCHITECTURE & ATMOSPHERE
This wide-ranging survey of paintings and works on paper by Franz Kline is the third in a series of tributes to artists Stone has been affiliated with over the past 35 years (preceded by a show of works by Wayne Thiebaud and "Liquefying Cubism," a 1995 overview of de Kooning's work from 1929 to 1969).
His opinion of "Franz Kline: Black and White 1950-1961" at the Menil Collection in Houston, which later came to the Whitney Museum, is similarly dour.
Where de Kooning's extraordinary paint-handling is comparable to the Old Master styles of Rubens or Franz Hals, Kline is engaged with a more extreme and forceful paradigm.

 Dutch Painting
Mierevelt (1567—1641) was one of the earliest, a prolific painter, fond of the aristocratic sitter, and indulging in a great deal of elegance in his accessories of dress and the like.
Quite the reverse of him was Franz Hals (1584 ?—I666), one of the most remarkable painters of portraits with which history acquaints us.
They were quiet, conservative, dignified, painting civic guards and societies with a knowing brush and lively color, giving the truth of physiognomy, but not with that verve of the artist so conspicuous in Hals, nor with that unity of the group so essential in the making of a picture.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Time Off
They say that only Mozart’s dog was at his graveside when he was buried, but the whole process of burying him had been so slipshod that, a few days later, when Mozart’s widow, Constance, went to the cemetery to put some flowers on his grave, no one could tell her where it was.
The point here is that, while Franz Hals was alive and working hard for what might be said to be just "bred money", his countrymen were not at all kind to him.
It was not until Hals was in his mid-eighties that the rich patrons of art in Holland became aware that, if only to make sure that he would go on painting their portraits, he would have to be put on a pension.
