Childe Hassam was a prolific painter,

who produced more than 2,500 works in his lifetime. He is best known for his vibrant landscapes and cityscapes, which often featured bright colors and bold brush strokes. He was also a master of light and shadow, creating works that were both beautiful and evocative. His works are now considered to be among the most iconic American Impressionist paintings.

Old is New Again!

Influenced by French Impressionism, Childe used bright colors and bold brush strokes that sparkle even today.  His use of color and light and pattern to produce and image is masterful. Today in our age we have machines that can produce art with just a few words into a computer. But the roots of all artists are found in the men and women that produced and balanced light and color by hand, spending days, weeks or months on one piece.
