Maurice Prendergast's joyous, light-filled canvases have made him one of America's best-loved painters. His unique perception endowed his sensuous experiments in pattern and textures, in atmosphere and light with a stature achieved by few artists.

He exhibited as one of The Eight, becoming known as one of the "Red Hots, " and participated in the Armory Show.
