In 1889, American Impressionist Childe Hassam (1859–1935) moved to New York City—and found his muse. This beautifully illustrated volume explores Hassam’s deep fascination with the city during a time of rapid transformation. His richly atmospheric paintings capture the elegance and energy of New York as it evolved from a genteel town into a bustling modern metropolis.
Featuring vivid full-color reproductions of Hassam’s most iconic urban scenes, Childe Hassam's New York presents not just art, but a visual chronicle of the city’s changing identity. Insightful commentary by curator Ilene Susan Fort is paired with illuminating quotes from Hassam and his contemporaries, offering a deeper understanding of the man, his method, and the metropolis that inspired him.
A must-have for art lovers, historians, and anyone captivated by the spirit of old New York.
