Arthur A. Haserick
Arthur A. Haserick is an Art Brut artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Arthur A. Haserick liked to sit very still. At a picnic table or a windowsill, he’d wait until moths and butterflies landed nearby, then slowly sketch their wings before they fluttered off. He painted them lifelike, down to the dust on their antennae, but with colors so sharp they look like they’re lit from inside. Check out *The Oleander Moth* (1924)—his watercolor captures the moth’s striped body like it’s frozen mid-breath. If you’ve ever tried to draw a bug and failed, Haserick makes it look easy.
