Kansas City, Kansas
1897
Created in 1897 during his academic training, this watercolor offers a surprisingly peaceful view of Kansas City. Two tiny figures wander up a winding path toward a cluster of humble cottages, all rendered in loose, atmospheric washes of green and purple. It’s a fascinating glimpse into Henry Ossawa Tanner’s early landscape work, showcasing his mastery of mood and light before he became famous for his powerful religious scenes.
