Childe Hassam (1859-1935) created an immense body of work in the Impressionist style, comprising oil paintings, watercolours, pastels, and prints. His distinctive and enchanting images, with their focus on effects of colour and light, are widely admired and are included in the collections of every major museum in the United States. In this handsomely illustrated book, the authors, all experts in the field, take a fresh look at Hassam's responses to his vibrant and complicated era. Their texts study his striking portrayals of cities and country sites in America and Europe. Also explored are his late works - those completed after 1900 - when Hassam felt increasingly challenged by both modern life and modern art. These include tranquil interior vignettes, iconic images of New England churches, and his great Flag series. Hassam's life and career in Boston, New York, Paris, New England, and East Hampton as well as his travels are covered in fresh and insightful chapters. Essays on more specific subjects focus on Hassam's pride in his ancestry; his interest in architecture, gardens and allegorical themes; his accomplishments as a watercolourist and printmaker; his frames; the marketing of his art; and the contemporary critical response to it. The book, which also contains a chronology of Hassam's career and a comprehensive exhibition chronology, accompanies the first major museum retrospective of Hassam's works since 1972. Childe Hassam, American Impressionist examines this great artist's work in the context of his credo that "the man who will go down to posterity is the man who paints his own time and the scenes of everyday life around him".

Using letters and diaries, this book describes the day-to-day experiences of American artists thrust into the unusual world of the Paris atelier. It is illustrated with works by Alexandre Cabanel, John Singer Sargent and Thomas Eakins. The virtuosity and beauty of French and American academic painting are spotlighted by the author, who aims to challenge the chauvinism in American art history by revealing the extent of French influence on the American painters who sought training in Paris.

"Americans in Paris 1850-1910" represents the profound French influence - both in style and subject - on American painters following the Civil War. While wealthy Americans collected French art, American artists traveled to France to study, either at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts or at one of the independent academies or studios. Paris proved immensely appealing as a locale in which artists were supported and valued, cultural life was rich, the surrounding countryside inspiring, and the cost of living relatively low. The landscapes and human figures favored by French painters offered a nostalgic appeal that American artists translated into a national vernacular. With beautiful colour plates of some of the most influential artists from America and France - among them, James McNeill Whistler, Kenyon Cox, Mary Cassatt, Camille Cordot, and Honore Daumier - and informative essays describing biographical, historical, and stylistic influences, this volume brings to life a pivotal and creatively vibrant moment in art history.
