This, the first monograph covering the entire painting career of Hassam (1859-1935), accompanies an exhibition mounted at the Jordon-Volpe Gallery in New York. Hassam exhibited with "The Ten," a group of noteworthy New York artists, and was also an accomplished etcher, although this talent is not discussed in depth in the catalog. Born in Boston, he received art training in Paris between 1886 and 1889 and continued to work in a French impressionist style for the rest of his career. Hassam is strongly identified with his favorite locales-Manhattan and the New England seacoast-and subject matter-namely, flowers, furnished interiors, and flags. Readers will be delighted by the nearly 200 illustrations of his appealing canvases, two-thirds of which are color reproductions. Serious students of Hassam will also appreciate the annotated footnotes, chronology, and transcribed documents. Recommended for American art collections.
