Kansas Artists, compiled by Lydia Sain from 1932 to 1948. Typed Manuscript, 1948.; Mosby, Dewey F. Henry Ossawa Tanner. Philadelphia: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1991.This and over 1,750 other biographies can be found in Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945) compiled by Susan V. Craig, Art & Architecture Librarian at University of Kansas.Biography from Roger King Fine ArtHenry O. Tanner was an illustrator, painter, photographer, and educator. The son of Rev. Benjamin Tucker Tanner, Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, he was born in Pittsburgh and raised in Philadelphia. In 1872 Tanner decided to become an artist, and in 1880 he was accepted at the Pennsylvania Acadamy of Fine Arts. He was a student of Thomas Eakins, and the two artists established a close relationship. As an African-American artist, Tanner found it difficult to establish patronage in Philadelphia or in Atlanta, where he initially opened a photography studio. During a trip to the North Carolina mountains, his paintings of local black residents impressed Bishop Joseph Hartzel, who became the first of several white benefactors. Hartzel purchased Tanner's entire exhibition, which enabled the artist to travel abroad. He studied for several years at the Academie Julian in Paris, where his work became more personal and sensitive. Around 1896 Tanner began to focus on religious subjects, a change that brought critical and financial success. His overwhelming acceptance at the Paris Salon brought with it awards and honors and the support of affluent French patrons. Following a trip to the Holy Land, Tanner's style changed dramatically, developing into a mature blend of spirituality and impressionist color, light, and form. Although his work was earning the increasing notice of American institutions, Tanner decided to make Paris his permanent home after his 1898 marriage to a white California woman, believing France to be more hospitable to an interracial couple and a black artist. As his fame grew, so did the number of his exhibits and his professional affiliations and honors. He was the first black artist elected to the National Academy and was made a Knight of France's Legion of Honor. His painting "The Raising of Lazarus" was purchased by the French government for the Luxembourg Museum. Among the many museums containing examples of his work are the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
