Artist: Childe Hassam (American, 1859–1935)
Original Dimensions: 24" x 36"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1909) "This intimate landscape, with its strong rhythmic composition, flattened space, and tapestry-like application of paint, illustrates the modification of Hassam's style at the turn of the century when he absorbed Post-Impressionist developments. The painting is thought to have been executed on the property of a friend in East Hampton who had a beautiful lily pond surrounded by irises. Hassam was later to buy his own home in East Hampton, where he spent long periods during the last sixteen years of his life." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
