Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Frederick Childe Hassam (1859-1935) is considered the preeminent American Impressionist. He started at the Boston Art School, learning engraving and illustration, but went to Paris and studied with Boulanger and Lefebvre before eventually becoming one of "The Ten," a group of Impressionists. Filled with rainy or snow-covered city streets, colorful seaside gardens, patriotic flag-lined avenues, and exquisitely dressed women, his paintings are unmistakable. The authors of this current work approach different facets of Hassam and his work: gallerist Adelson looks at the artist in an international context drawing connections to Monet and Vuillard; William Gerdts (American Impressionism) looks at ongoing themes; and art historian Jay Cantor focuses on the departures of Hassam's later work, nudes, and East Hampton views. Many of the illustrations are familiar ones, but the authors gained access to many others in private collections that are reproduced here for the first time. The extensive illustrations, 200 in color, are complemented by a detailed illustrated chronology and extensive bibliography. Highly recommended as a necessary purchase for serious collections on American Art.

Review

"This is an art-lovers dream of a book. The triumvirate of authors are well-known experts on the American Impressionist movement, and obviously care deeply about their subject. It is a lavishly lighted, flower-bedecked, and flag-draped beautiful world that Childe Hassam saw from the window of his upper floor studio, and this book is like a gift of that world, beautifully wrapped for the reader."
― The Bloomsbury Review
