Artist William T. Dannat

 

Artist William T. Dannat was profiled in an 1895 article in Munsey’s Magazine. He was “regarded as a hard man to know—somewhat exclusive in his tastes, brusk and rather caustive of speech,” but underneath it all, “those who reach his real personality, find a wit, a fire of genius, and a charm of individuality that makes a day spent in his company long to be remembered.”

He studied art in New York, then spent eight years in Germany studying architecture. At twenty-two, he concentrated on painting, studying under Munkacsy.
