Diving Cormorant is a 1900 unspecified by Otto Henry Bacher, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a dark bird diving into murky water. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the bird’s feathers. The background is a mix of gray and blue, with a few pale shapes floating on the surface. The artist used heavy paint in some spots, making the texture stand out. The water looks choppy, with small waves and bits of debris along the bottom. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Otto Henry Bacher (May 31, 1856, Cleveland - August 16, 1909, Bronxville, New York) was an American artist; primarily known for his etchings and illustrations. He also painted oils in a variety of genres.
