American Impressionism

More than one hundred works on exhibit at the Springfield Museums, including 80 oil paintings and nearly 30 works on paper created during the golden age of American Impressionism between the 1880s through the 1940s. The collection of lyrical landscapes, sun-filled harbors, penetrating portraits and still-life paintings is organized according to the artists’ colonies that played such a critical role in the development of American Impressionism. These include Cos Cob and Old Lyme in Connecticut; Cape Cod, Cape Anne, and Rockport, in Massachusetts; New Hope and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Taos, New Mexico; and throughout California. Within each of these colonies, artists were able to teach, collaborate and escape the daily rigors of their city studios. Often located in scenic locations within striking distance of major cities, the colonies surrounded artists with natural beauty while also providing them with ample subject matter for their work. Featured are works by Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent, expatriate artists working in Paris alongside the likes of Degas and Monet, along with American masters like William Merritt Chase and Charles Webster Hawthorne who embraced the style and helped further its development in the United States. The exhibit also includes other leading artists of the movement such as Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, Julian Alden Weir, John Twachtman, Chauncey Ryder, Frank W. Benson, William Paxton, Abbott Thayer, Guy Wiggins, Colin Campbell Cooper, Daniel Garber and Edward Redfield, among others. Organized by the Reading Public Museum, Sponsored by MassMutual. http://www.springfieldmuseums.org/the...
