Frederick Childe Hassam - Winter Afternoon in New York, 1900

One of Hassam’s more typically impressionistic works, this painting gives the viewer a pretty, appealing view of a New York street filtered through a sparkling winter storm. By this point, Impressionism was not considered radical; artists could go to schools set up to teach an impressionistic style of painting (such as William Merritt Chase’s summer art school in Shinnecock, Long Island), and it was becoming widely accepted as an academic style.

Frederick Childe Hassam (October 17, 1859 – August 27, 1935) was a prolific American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes. Along with Mary Cassatt and John Henry Twachtman, Hassam was instrumental in promulgating Impressionism to American collectors, dealers, and museums. He produced over 3,000 paintings, watercolors, etchings, and lithographs over the course of his career, and was an influential American artist of the early 20th century.
