A Backward Glance: Highlights from the William J. Glackens Collection guides viewers through key moments from William Glackens’ history, beginning with his work as an illustrator for publications such as Collier’s: The National Weekly and The New York Herald, and his time as an artist reporter on the frontlines in Cuba during the War of 1898. A Backward Glance also sheds light on some of the lesser-known ways in which Glackens was central to the advancement of modern art in America, such as in his role as chair of the American art committee for the 1913 Armory Show, his contribution to the establishment of the Barnes Foundation Collection, and his position as first president of the Society of Independent Artists in 1917.
