Childs notes that Tanner's modernist works of this period \"emphasize the picturesque nature of North Africa and focus on secular subjects, such as the play of sunlight on the whitewashed architecture,\" and that his Moroccan gateways \"denote the limits of his incursion into Oriental spaces\" — he does not project a conception of private Moroccan interiors in the manner of traditional Orientalists, but instead presents \"stylized renderings of public spaces subtly animated by the movements of indistinct figures.\"\nThe series also marks a turning point in his technique:\nTanner had begun experimenting with pigments and glazes around 1907, and it was his renewed acquaintance with the Orient that enabled him to develop the more resonant and colorful painting style characteristic of his art from about 1910\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Henry Ossawa Tanner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew American painters handled light the way this one did - that cool, almost lunar blue-green glow that turns biblical scenes into something quietly mystical rather than theatrical. Trained under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy in the 1880s, he left the United States for Paris in 1891, where the Salon embraced him and France eventually made him a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He was the first African American artist to gain serious international standing, and he did it on his own terms, painting religious subjects and North African scenes with a contemplative restraint. His canvases reward slow looking - genuinely meditative work for a noisy century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Henry Ossawa Tanner","offers":[{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41554940985431,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_18x24_-StretchedCanvas","price":170.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41554941018199,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_18x24_-FineArtPaper","price":111.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41554941050967,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_18x24_-AntiquaFrame","price":213.18,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41554941083735,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_18x24_-HickoryFrame","price":213.18,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":41554941116503,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_18x24_-RavenFrame","price":213.18,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41554941182039,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x36_-StretchedCanvas","price":284.72,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41554941214807,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x36_-FineArtPaper","price":170.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41554941247575,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x36_-AntiquaFrame","price":356.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41554941280343,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x36_-HickoryFrame","price":356.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41554941313111,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x48_-StretchedCanvas","price":570.87,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41554941345879,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x48_-FineArtPaper","price":284.72,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41554941378647,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x48_-AntiquaFrame","price":713.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41554941411415,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x48_-HickoryFrame","price":713.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":43297893744727,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x36_-RavenFrame","price":356.26,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 48\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":43297893777495,"sku":"midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x48_-RavenFrame","price":713.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2536\/4678\/products\/fine-art-print-midday-tangiers-by-henry-ossawa-tanner-1171187224.jpg?v=1749742326","url":"https:\/\/trulyart.com\/en-ca\/products\/midday-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner","provider":"Truly Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
