William Strang Self-portrait
Willian Strang (1859 - 1921) was a gifted and prolific painter and etcher, born in Dumbarton, Scotland. He was primarily well known for his multiple etchings sometimes done in series to illustrate stories or allegorical poems, but also as solitary portraits. As you can see above, Strang's paintings were also rather fine and unique. To my eye, Strang was a master of psychological intensity, capturing the expression that told a tale if you look closely enough.
I'm new to Strang's work and I'm still researching him online, marveling all the while.
