AUGUSTUS VINCENT TACK Child Collecting Flowers.

Provenance: Private collection, Massachusetts.
Scenes of children, at times including the artist's son, Robert Fuller Tack, who appears to be the model in the current painting, gathering flowers were among Tack's (1870-1949) popular figural subjects. One painting, entitled Child Bringing Flowers, was shown at the Detroit Museum of Art (the precursor to the Detroit Institute of Arts), February 23-March 10, 1911, alongside works by Hermann Dudley Murphy and William Baxter Closson. The exhibition traveled to the City Art Museum of St. Louis in the spring of 1911.
