Description: Childe Hassam (1859-1935) fell in love with New York after moving there in 1889, and it became one of his favorite subjects for his paintings. His urbanscapes are shown here not only as sumptuous tonalist paintings but also as visual records of a city in the throes of a profound transformation from quaint city to crowded metropolis. Illuminating quotes by Hassam and writers of the day are featured with the full-color reproductions.
