Description: "This volume celebrates Hassam's imposing career as one of America's foremost Impressionists. Unsurpassed in the quality and variety of his work, and equally talented in creating oil paintings, watercolors, and prints, Hassam explored such evocative subjects as rain-swept city scenes, glorious seaside gardens, exquisite women, and stirring flag-lined streets.

Many of these irresistible pictures are hidden in private collections and have rarely, if ever, been reproduced; others are on view at major museums across the country, from the Metropolitan Museum to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art."--BOOK JACKET. "By approaching Hassam from several angles, the three authors reveal the many different facets of this multitalented artist and uncover previously unknown aspects of his life and work."--BOOK JACKET.
