Henry Ossawa Tanner was a late 19th century, early 20th century painter. He was originally from Pennsylvania. However, being a black, his career path was constrained and so he eventually moved to France where he faced less obstacles because of his race.
His style was realism, with a lot of expressionism frequently mixed in. I found a lot of his compositions to be unusual, with main elements frequently moved to the side and balanced by dark and light. He painted a lot of religious subjects, which is what he is primarily known for.
