Kopplin For generations, Vose Galleries has welcomed the opportunity to shine a light on the work of ‘unsung artists’ throughout art history, and in the sphere of American Impressionism there is perhaps no artist more deserving of this attention than Theodore Wendel. As part of the first wave of Americans to visit Giverny in the summer of 1887, joining John Leslie Breck, Willard Metcalf and Theodore Robinson, Wendel became one of the earliest painters to apply impressionist principles to his plein air interpretations of the French countryside; sources later reported that the master himself, Claude Monet, who limited his interactions with the Americans, thought highly of Wendel’s work. In March of 1889, short- ly after settling in Boston, Wendel organized a three-day viewing of his pastoral landscapes at a studio on Boylston Street, coinciding with Met- calf’s exhibition of foreign paintings held nearby at the St. Botolph Club. Theodore Wendel painting daughter Mary, Both artists garnered positive reviews from the local press, and over the Upper Farm, Ipswich, circa 1915 next several years Wendel maintained an active exhibition schedule, including a two-person show with Theodore Robinson in 1892, featu- provided, combined with his steady roster of exhibitions, allowed Wen- ring both oils and pastels; several solo and group shows with his fellow del to feel more financially secure in his profession and in 1897 he and Boston artists at the St.

    Radiant Impressions Note to Teachers UCI Institute and Museum of California Art (IMCA) aims to be a resource to educators and students by offering school visits, programs, digital tools, and activities designed for grades 3–12 that contribute to the development of stronger critical-thinking skills, empathy, and curiosity about art and culture. When students are encouraged to express themselves and take risks in discussing and creating art, they awaken their imaginations and nurture their creative and innovative potential. School visits offer opportunities for students to develop observation and interpretation skills using visual and sensory information, build knowledge independently and with one another, and cultivate an interest in artistic production. This Teacher Resource Guide includes essays, artist biographies, strategies for interdisciplinary curriculum integration, discussion questions, methods for teaching with objects, a vocabulary list, and activities for three works in IMCA’s collection that are included in the exhibition Radiant Impressions. About the Exhibition From California Impressionism to the Light and Space movement, California artists have been celebrated for their skillful rendering of the perceptual effects of light. Focusing on painters working in California throughout the 20th century, Radiant Impressions considers the ways these artists have engaged with light not only for its optical qualities Radiant Impressions but also for its power to infuse ephemeral moments with meaning and emotion. Whether the warm golden tones of the California sun or the intense glow of electric bulbs, light in these paintings communicates a sense of anticipation, celebration, rest, and reflection. Presenting works organized in thematic groupings—The Domestic Realm and Work, Capturing the Scene, Play and the Social Sphere, and Lighting the Portrait—the exhibition brings together a diverse selection of landscapes and portraiture as well as genre scenes depicting people at work and at play.

Renowned during his lifetime, Chase (1849–1916) is perhaps best known today as an influential teacher to such artists as George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Charles Sheeler—students who would ultimately overshadow their mentor’s career and legacy. After his death a century ago, Chase’s notability began to wane with the arrival of more overtly modernist styles.

    Childe Hassam, Study for Across the Avenue in Sunlight, 1918 Oil on Board, 8 X 9.8 In

    Childe Hassam, Study for Across the Avenue in Sunlight, 1918 Oil on board, 8 x 9.8 in. (20.3 x 24.9 cm.) New York Private Collection Three enormous flags of the major Allied nations–Britain, France and the United States–are draped over the grand Beaux-Arts style façade of Knoedler & Company, at its original location at 556 Fifth Avenue at 46th Street. The painter’s vantage point is from across Fifth Avenue to the north and east. As pedestrians stroll underneath the flags, these monumental symbols of patriotic fervor hang somberly over them, as if to offer protection from the threat of barbarous Teutonic hordes across the sea. This small oil on panel by Childe Hassam (Figs. 1–7) is likely a study for a larger work on canvas, Across the Avenue in Sunlight, June [1918] (Fig. 8), currently in the collection of the IBM Corporation in Armonk, New York. This larger version is somewhat richer in detail, and notably displays the flags hanging from the Knoedler building in a different order. Also notable is the difference in the use of light between the two versions. The subject study has a muted palette. It is predominately painted in grays and beiges, with streaks of blue on the sidewalk, suggesting recent rainfall. Across the Avenue in Sunlight, June, however, true to its title (and rather unusually, among paintings from Hassam’s Flag series), glows with the bold light of an early summer morning. Hassam, the patriarch of American impressionism and among the most famous living American artists at the outset of World War I, is probably best known for his series of paintings depicting Fifth Avenue adorned with the flags of the United States and those of her allies (Figs.

  • Gardening with a Paintbrush

    Chicago Tribune | Arts+Entertainment | Section 4 | Thursday, July 2, 2015 3 VISUAL ARTS AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS Gardening with a paintbrush By Mark St. John Erickson Tribune Newspapers When the first American impressionists began returning from Europe in the mid-1880s, they soon found themselves embracing a familiar yet unex- pectedly rich and rewarding subject. Newly trained by their French mentors to paint out of doors — where they could revel in the mysteries of shifting light and color — they set out looking for American settings just as the nation’s late-19th-century gar- den movement was taking off. So as they had seen the great Claude Monet do in his beloved home garden at Giverny, artists started packing up their palettes, canvases and paints and walking out their back doors in search of spaces filled with flowers. What resulted was one of art history’s great marriages of subject and style as — over the following three decades — such talented painters as Frederick Childe Hassam, Philip Leslie Hale and Maria Oakey Dewing paired the country’s new fasci- nation for horticulture and gar- dens with their own blossoming passion for loose brushwork, dappled light and seemingly CURRIER MUSEUM OF ART, MANCHESTER, N.H. infinite variations of color.

    MODERN ART COLLECTION Theodore Robinson Afternoon Shadows 1891 Oil on canvas 19 × 22½ in. (48.3 × 57.2 cm) Museum purchase, funds provided by Michael A. and Donna Singer 2007.7 Theodore Robinson was one of the first American artists to embrace the innovations of the French impressionist movement and was among the few American artists to enjoy a close personal friendship with Claude Monet, the father of French impressionism. Between 1887 and 1892, Robinson spent half of each year in Giverny, where his mature artistic style—characterized by a powerful sense of design, atmospheric effects, and lively surface texture—evolved under the direct influence of Monet. Painted at Giverny in the summer of 1891, Afternoon Shadows depicts a single stack of grain in a meadow of vivid greens and yellows bordered by a line of trees along the horizon. The deep shadows in the foreground recede toward the sunlit boundary of the field, suggesting late afternoon. The title of the work was given by Robinson himself in his diary in an entry dated December 8, 1893. Robinson was an academically trained figure painter who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the National Academy of Design in New York City. Following this early period of study from 1870 to 1874, Robinson sought an art education in Europe and continued his studies in Paris between 1876 and 1879 at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian. He was an active member of the American artistic community in France and exhibited his work at the Paris Salons in 1877, 1880, and 1887 through 1890.

    New Exhibition Explores Spanish Influence on American Artists

    New Exhibition Explores Spanish Influence on American Artists Chrysler Museum of Art and Milwaukee Art Museum to open major exhibition exploring the widespread influence of Spanish culture and art on American painting NORFOLK, Va. – September 15, 2020 – The extensive impact of Spanish art and culture on American painters in the 19th and early 20th centuries is the focus of Americans in Spain: Painting and Travel, 1820-1920. The new exhibition will be on view at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, Feb. 12-May 16, 2021, and at the Milwaukee Art Museum, June 11- Oct. 3, 2021. Americans in Spain will explore a pivotal moment in the 19th and early 20th centuries when American artists and their European counterparts flocked to Spain to capture its scenic charms and customs. The first major exhibition to present this important period of American art to a wide audience, it brings together more than 100 artworks, including paintings from the 17th- 20th centuries, photographs, prints and travel guides. It showcases works by American artists Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri, John Singer Sargent and others alongside their Spanish contemporaries and Spain’s old masters. A newly documented painting by Cassatt that has never been shown in the U.S. is one of the highlights. Visitors will be able to access a 3D Visualization of the Prado Museum and Interactive Artist Travelers Project using their mobile devices to visit the Prado Museum and famous sites in Spain. The exhibition draws upon the Chrysler Museum’s collection of American and old master works and the Milwaukee Art Museum’s holdings of realist paintings, specifically by the Ashcan Circle and the Eight.
