Arthur Hacker, Figure Painter - Video

Arthur Hacker has been one of the more successful artists of his time. He comes from an artistic family background and furthered his studies at the Royal Academy of Art, then moved to France for two years of further study with Bonnat. His independent spirit allowed him to work in many different genres and he was also a remarkable Portrait artist. He traveled with Solomon J. Solomon to explore and paint in Spain and Middle Eastern regions, which enabled him to enrich his palette with a lighter key and subject matter. Hacker is one to admire with each canvas.
