    When Ira Glackens, son of American impressionist William Glackens, died in 1991, he left his substantial collection of works by his father to the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale.

    The original donation included more than two hundred works in a variety of media, later supplemented by another 300 works given by the Sansom Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Ira and Nancy Glackens in the 1950s to oversee their art interests.

    The Glackens Collection ranges from the artist’s earliest known painting (Philadelphia Landscape, from 1893) to his last completed canvas (White Rose and Other Flowers, from 1937). The collection also includes works by such contemporaries of William Glackens as Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, and John Sloan.
