About the author
Charles H. (Charles Henry) Caffin
1854–1918
An English-born critic who helped American readers look at painting and photography with fresh eyes, he wrote clearly, enthusiastically, and with a real feel for modern art. His books opened museum walls to general audiences at a time when new ways of seeing were still being debated.
