| | The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Childe Hassam, American Impressionist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | Childe Hassam (18591935), a pioneer of American Impressionism and perhaps its most devoted, prolific, and successful practitioner, was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts (now part of Boston), into a family descended from settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. |
 | | Equally adept at capturing the charms of country retreats and the excitement of modern cities, Hassam became the foremost chronicler of New York City at the turn of the century. |
 | | The Metropolitan Museum of Art has organized a variety of educational programs, including gallery talks and a lecture series for the general public, to complement the exhibition. |
