“In her group portraits, Berrío routinely includes at least one of her figures—typically a woman—staring directly out at the viewer. Here, despite the tilt of her head, the central woman maintains direct eye contact with the viewer, engaging them in a silent dialogue. Surrounding this dominant central figure with a baby balanced comfortably on her…

E. Martin Hennings: Rabbit Hunt
“Hennings was drawn to both the landscape and the people of the Taos area. The bright sunlight of New Mexico inspired his colorful palette. He commented in his later years, “I have been working in Taos many years and I think that should prove that I like it here; the country, the mountains with their…
Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Rose Peignoir
“In the 1890s and the early decades of the twentieth century, American artists such as Mary Cassatt, Theodore Robinson, Childe Hassam, and Frederick Frieseke were inspired by French Impressionism, and began presenting their subjects in bright sunlight, utilizing broken, staccato brushwork and vivid hues. Frieseke traveled to France as early as 1898, and later settled…
Mary Cassatt: On a Balcony
“During Mary Cassatt’s early Impressionist period, she frequently focused on the activities of middle-class women in society—at the theater or taking tea, for example. At first glance, the arresting painting ‘On a Balcony’, which was shown in the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, appears to depict a woman in a public setting. However, the blue rail of…

Childe Hassam and the Isle of Shoals
“Six miles off the coasts of southern New Hampshire and Maine, Appledore is the largest island in the Atlantic archipelago known as the Isles of Shoals.

Carl Rungius: Prairie Wolf
“While Rungius’ brushwork did get more impressionistic in his maturity, he never sacrificed accuracy in depicting animal anatomy and musculature. In the present work, this loose brushwork is evident in the tall grass and brooding atmosphere behind the canine. Native to Wyoming the prairie wolf, or more accurately the coyote, is smaller relative of the…
