William Michael Harnett (1848 - 1892) was an Irish-born American painter.
Harnett’s paintings were extremely popular with the public, but most critics thought his works were mere trickery. Both groups ignored his outstanding skill in abstract composition. After a long period of disrepute, Harnett’s works again were appreciated and sought after in the mid-20th century. [1]
