American Impressionism: Paintings from The Phillips Collection June 16, 2007

In America, the radical new style of impressionism blended European approaches to painting with American sensibilities and preferences. Celebrated American artists including Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, John Henry Twachtman, and J. Alden Weir transformed the heroic American landscape into a modern idiom. The Phillips celebrates 85 years of presenting art with more than 65 treasured works from the golden age of American impressionism (ca.1880-1920), assembled together for the first time in more than a generation.
