"Andy" is a notable painting by American artist William Sommer, created in 1919. Sommer, a prominent figure in the Cleveland School of artists, is celebrated for his contributions to American modernism and his vibrant, expressive style. The painting is a portrait of Sommer's son, Andy, and it exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through bold colors and dynamic compositions.

The work is characterized by its use of vivid, almost Fauvist colors, and a loose, fluid brushwork that conveys a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Sommer's approach to portraiture in "Andy" reflects his broader artistic philosophy, which emphasized emotional expression and a deep connection to his subjects. The painting is also notable for its departure from traditional, realistic portraiture, embracing instead a more abstract and interpretive style that was innovative for its time.

"Andy" holds a significant place in the context of early 20th-century American art, as it showcases the influence of European modernist movements on American artists. Sommer's work, including this painting, played a crucial role in the development of modern art in the United States, particularly in the Midwest. His ability to blend elements of Cubism, Fauvism, and Expressionism into a uniquely American idiom is evident in this portrait.

The painting is part of the collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art, where it continues to be an important piece for understanding the evolution of modern art in America. "Andy" not only highlights William Sommer's artistic talents but also provides insight into the personal and familial aspects of his life, making it a deeply personal and historically significant work.
