19th-century American genre painter in New York City, Alfred Kappes was elected an Associate member of the National Academy of Design in 1887. This same year, he exhibited "Tattered and Torn" at the Boston Art Club.
Kappes was renowned during his career for his sensitive portrayal of the lives of the African-American community, and was recognized as such in art reviews of the day. Unlike other artists who sentimentalized African-American subjects, Kappes painted his neighbors with frankn (showing 500 of 792 characters). |
