Artist Hacker Arthur | 1858-1919гг

Artist Arthur Hacker (Arthur Hacker) was born in London in 1858. His father Edward Hacker (Edward Hacker) was also associated with fine art, was the engraver. Perhaps this influenced the choice of Arthur to become a painter.
He graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, and later in 1880-1881 was trained in Paris under léon Bonnat (Leon Bonnat), also known portraitist and a great friend of Degas (Degas). Bonn was a great teacher, and as a result, he Arthur, too, became a famous artist-портретистом. In his time in Paris, a Hacker he met Stanhope Forbes (Stanhope Forbes), with whom he founded the New English Art Club (New English Art Club). They both were adherents of realism, but later Arthur several times changed the style of his painting.
In the earliest of his works we meet genre and historical scenes. And as a result of the success of these paintings was the election of a Hacker Junior member of the Royal Academy, after which he began to teach. In 1910, the Hacker became the Academician and began to draw a series of scenes from the streets of London, including" Дождливую the night in the square Piccadilly" ("A, Wet Night in Piccadilly Circus"). Ambiguous took the audience and critics that painting at that time audience was not ready to the contemplation of such scenes are not typical of the painting style of a Hacker. A large part of the artist"s works are portraits, in which he reached his professionalism.
in the last years of his life the Hacker is back to mythological and allegorical themes. He died on 12 September 1919 in London, where he lived almost his entire life.
