Despite his marrying into wealth, Glackens continued to work for close to thirty years as a newspaper, magazine and book illustrator. His income as a graphic artist afforded him the luxury of painting to fulfill his creative needs rather than to satisfy a capricious market. Thus, he accomplished every painter's dream of conceiving art for art's sake.
We are what we create, and we create Art to bring a piece of ourselves to others.
-- Chris Peden
