Product Description
Product Description
Celebrates Hassam's imposing career as one of America's foremost impressionists. Adelson (president of Adelson Galleries), Cantor (teacher, writer and lecturer on American art) and Gerdts (author and professor emeritus, Graduate Center of the City U. of New York) approach the artist from several angles (an international context, his little-understood late work, and predominant themes) to reveal his many facets and uncover previously unknown aspects of his life and work. Illustrated with color reproductions that represent all of Hassam's styles, the volume concludes with an illustrated chronology and an annotated bibliography.

Flagrantly bad color rendition
21 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
This will be the first and last Abbeville Press book I buy. Most of the plates are so far off in saturation, hue, lightness values they are laughable. Where reproductions of the same Hassam paintings appear in other books , such as American Impressionists (0823002128) or California Impressionists (0915977257), they are inviting and credible; here they are repugnant. I don't think I have ever seen plates so far off norm. I see that I have the first printing too, so it cannot be due to long run deviations. The sound you just heard was this clunker hitting the trash can.

Impressive art, informative biography
3 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Beautiful full-page color photos are liberal in this fine survey of Hassam's career as an important American Impressionist artist. Hassam explored Impressionist themes in a variety of mediums: many of his pictures have been hidden in private collections until now, others are on public display. Childe Hassam, Impressionist gathers many public and private holdings and adds a survey of the artist's life and times.
