	William Harnett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Michael Harnett (1848-1892) was an Irish-American painter who helped pioneer a trompe l'oeil (literally, "fool the eye") style of realistic painting.
		Harnett's, from 1886, shows the violin upright and in brand-new condition with a new piece of sheet music behind it.
		Harnett's works indeed tended to emphasise an almost mechanical perfection, while Peto's were more reflective of human interaction.

		Harnett, the more popular of the two though, in the end, a lesser artist, traded on the relative naivete that Americans had about illusion at the dawn of the photographic age: less blase than we are about images, because less drenched in them, his public loved to have its eyes fooled.
		Harnett is of the Munich school, and takes a wicked delight in defying the possibillties." To others, Harnett's skills suggested a classical parallel: he was the American Zeuxis, the ancient Greek painter who supposedly could paint grapes so lifelike that birds flew down to peck at them.
		The son of an immigrant Irish shoemaker from Cork, Harnett died of kidney failure at the age of forty-four.

		William Michael Harnett (1848–1892) is a modern artist who was never appreciated in his own time.
		Harnett once told a newspaper critic in an interview that he had originally taken up still-life painting during his student days because he was too poor to afford living models.
		While the statement probably does not document the entire reason for Harnett's choice of artistic direction, it is significant that humans and human emotions have no part in his work.

	William Michael Harnett - AMAM
		The humble wood panel that forms the background is as carefully, and as illusionistically, painted as the actual "subject" of the composition; splits and holes in the wood are realistically feathered with splinters, and the green paint is mottled with wear.
		Harnett frequently reused compositional elements in his paintings; similar, if not identical, meerschaum pipes appear in several other works from the period, most often in combination with newspapers, books, tankards, tobacco, and other attributes of the masculine world.
		Harnett occasionally produced other, nearly identical variants of his own compositions; compare, for example, the Toledo Blade (Toledo Museum of Art) and the Philadelphia Times (The New Britain Museum of American Art), both signed and dated 1886.

		Born in Clonakilty, Ireland, in 1848, William Michael Harnett was brought to Philadelphia as an infant by his immigrant parents, a shoemaker and a seamstress.
		Harnett's effects of trompe l'oeil verisimilitude were particularly striking when he adopted an alternate compositional format of a shallow, vertical plane--usually a wooden door--from which letters, horseshoes, books, musical instruments, or wild game were suspended.
		Harnett sought relief from his condition--in Hot Springs, Arkansas in late 1887 and in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1889--and was forced to check into New York City hospitals on at least four occasions.

		Harnett was an expert at rendering textures: for example, the tattered and fragile music stained with age; the shine of an ebony-and-ivory flute; books with worn leather covers; the reflection of light on a brass candlestick; the translucency of a candle; and the shiny and matte sides of a red ribbon bookmark.
		Music and literature help to preserve the past, and Harnett specifically included Miguel Cervantes's early seventeenth-century novel Don Quixote and music (in the foreground) from the more recent opera La Traviata, written by Guiseppe Verdi in 1853.
		The music, however, is stained and torn, and the leather covers of the books worn with age.

		With European precedents in mind, William Harnett transformed still-life painting in America when he tipped the picture plane on end, hanging objects on a rough-hewn door rather than placing them on the customary table top.
		Harnett's pictorial innovations—the vertical orientation, his choice of tactile objects, and his painstaking trompe l'oeil techniques—made him the most famous still-life painter in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
