Harry Finney, Art Student, Paris; exhibitor in Salon of 1891, former Teacher Spring Garden Institute.Champs Elysees SalonSome Excellent Paintings Displayed and Many American Artists. Paris, April 25: Harry Finney of Philadelphia, comes well to the front with a large canvas entitled The Feast of Flowers. An elegantly dresses Parisian lady is depicted in an open caliche, as she drives along an avenue in the Bois de Boulogne; at her back is a beautiful mass of blooming roses; she is represented in the act of casting flowers with her gloved hand as the carriage proceeds. There is no attempt at finical painting, the features are firmly rendered; the lovely costume is fresh from Worth, and the whole is as fine a sample of artistic workmanship as can be found int his year’s Salon.The Philadelphia Inquirer (Newspaper) (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 26 Apr 1891.After two years of pranks, puffing, and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy, the vision of a Paris garret was on its way to becoming a reality. With four fellow students name Charles Grafly, Harry Finney, J.R. Fisher, and William Hefeker, Henri booked passage from New York, and on September 5, 1888, the five found themselves lining the rail, ocean-bound, taking their last strained glimpse of America. Henri’s disinterest in the Julian classes was far from unique. Of the other Americans, Harry Finney, for example, had already forsaken he insipid instruction of Bouguereau, preferring instead to try his hand at portrait painting on the fashionable Right Bank. Painters of the Ashcan School: The Immortal Eight by Bennard B. Perlman. Philadelphia Artists at the Paris Salon.Most pleasing is the picture by Mr. Harry Finney, another talented Philadelphian, whose last year’s painting, “La Fete des Fleurs,” was so much admired.Mr. Finney is by no means imbued with “Classicism;” he does not waste his time in, as the French say “seeking noon at 14 o’clock.” He believes that the features of a beautiful living woman are more worthy of perpetuation on canvas than those of an ideal goddess, and leaves to others the painting of hackneyed Minervas and Dianas. This year’s picture, which he entitles Chagrin d’Amour, (pictured) represents a most beautiful woman, seated pensively on a stone bench in a sunny flower-covered park, brooding over her heart troubles. To tell the truth, she does not seem to suffer immoderately; her complexion has not lost its rosy charm, nor her eye its brightness, nor has she neglected the slightest detail of her faultless toilette. Taken all in all she is much more calculated to produce “chagrins d’amour’ in the hearts of her masculine beholders than to provoke sympathy for her own but “The wound’s invisible – That love’s keen arrows make.”The Philadelphia Inquirer (Newspaper) (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 17 Apr 1892.
