Alfred Laurens Brennan
American illustrator, painter, and draftsman, 1853–1921
One of many American artists inspired by the European etching revival initiated by James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, and others. A primary catalyst of the etching revival in America was the journal American Art Review (1879–1881), founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler. Brennan was a contributing etcher, with Thomas and Peter Moran, Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer, F. S. Church, Robert Swain Gifford, Henry Farrer, Samuel Coleman, and James D. Smillie. Because of production costs, the Journal lasted only slightly over two years.
