Hananiah Harari, also known as Richard (Dick) Falk Goldman and Dick Harari, was born in Rochester, New York. In 1912, he studied at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery and the School of Fine Arts at Syracuse University. Although he was involved with the Abstract Expressionists, his own work alternated between abstraction and expressionism. He rejected true abstraction because he saw it as “separate from life.” Here, he depicts a man surrounded by objects--including many pictures. We are left to ponder the relationship between the man and the things.
