J. M. Tracy was renowned in his lifetime as a painter of dogs, horses, and sporting scenes, but today he is one of the most elusive figures in American art. His obscurity is partially accounted for by the fact that his work seldom comes on the market. For reasons of pride and sentiment his paintings have remained largely in the families or clubs of the sportsmen who commissioned them.
Tracy was born near Rochester, Ohio, in 1843. (1) His father, a preacher and abolitionist, was killed (showing 500 of 4215 characters). |
