Synopsis

Highlighting the “golden age,” the Phillips Collection counts among its most treasured works some of the finest examples of American impressionism. The artists represented from this generation include William Merritt Chase, Lilian Westcott Hale, Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, Julian Alden Weir, and John Henry Twachtman. These American painters absorbed the brighter palette, technique, and subject matter of impressionism from their French counterparts, transforming the heroic American landscape into a modern idiom. This postcard book features paintings from among the Phillips Collection’s earliest acquisitions.
