Henry Ossawa Tanner, American Artist

Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 - May 25, 1937) was an American artist and the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. He enrolled in 1879 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and was the only black student. He moved to Paris, in 1891 to study, and continued to live there after being accepted in French artistic circles. Tanner's Sand Dunes at Sunset, Atlantic City hangs in the Green Room at the White House; it is the first painting by an African-American artist to have been purchased for the permanent collection. Tanner is often regarded as a realist painter,  focusing on accurate depictions of subjects. No photographer credited, pre-1930s (cropped and cleaned).
