William L.
Haney (born June 17, 1938 in Strong City, Kansas; died March 22, 1992) is recognized for his narrative-realist paintings.
His paintings were constructed as conceptual collages involving social-political issues of the late 20th century.
Haney was intensely engaged in art history, often referencing other artists and the world around him.
His artistic process consisted of drawing and collecting images from magazines, posters, and other sources.
Usually, he would prepare watercolor first and then plan placement as per color attributes, finishing with an oil painting and print.
His draftsman skills only allowed him to draw on canvas without the aid of a camera.
He was also known as a super-realist and a post photo-realist.
Other contemporary painters working in a super-realistic or hyper-realistic style are Richard Estes and Robert Birmelin.
