Best known for his figural works, portraits, and still lifes in realist style with interplay of design elements, Robert Brackman created paintings that show the gamut of technical and imaginative skills. It is not credible to align him with any art movement because he was an artist who simply went his own way, pursuing his own vision. He was born in odessa, russia, and came to the united states in 1908. He studied at the national academy of design from 1919 to 1921, and the ferrer cchool in san francisco. In new york, he also studied with Robert Henri and George Bellows at the national academy of design. From 1934 to 1944, he had seven one-man exhibitions in new york city.
