The best work of American artists influenced by European Impressionism comes together in these appealing pages. As a generation of painters studied abroad and absorbed new approaches to light, palette, and composition, their landscapes, cityscapes, figural paintings, and still lifes began to exude their own distinct departures from academic styles. Shown are works by James McNeill Whistler, Childe Hassam, John Twachtman, Maria Oakey Dewing, William Merritt Chase, Edmund Tarbell, Frank Benson, Maurice Prendergast, and others.
“The opportunity to view differing approaches to Impressionism and note the nuances and variations possible within this important style of painting makes this an engrossing and informative addition to any art resource shelf.”—School Arts
