	Marblehead Magazine Childe Hassam
		The artist is Frederick Childe Hassam and the sketch he sold to the Messenger is that panoramic view of the town of Marblehead which became so familiar to generations of townspeople over the years.
		Actually, he was named "Childe" after the surname of a maternal uncle and the "Hassam" was a dissertation of the family name of Horsham, his ancestors of that name having come to Boston in the early 18th century from Sussex, England.
		Childe Hassam was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on October 17, 1855.

		Hassam was a corruption of the English Horsham.
		Hassam spoils, for me, an otherwise wonderful semi-pointillist painting, from 1898, of a governess shepherding two little girls in Central Park by giving her head the “charming” tilt of a fashion-plate model.

	Childe Hassam: Impressionist in the West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hassam liked to paint a range of subjects, and those broad interests are reflected in the Oregon paintings, which include desert, mountain, coastal, and valley landscapes, portraits, still lifes, urban scenes, and nudes in idealized landscapes.
		Hassam was clearly fascinated by the expansive skies, panoramic views, and insistent horizontality of the eastern Oregon landscape as well as its ruggedness and emptiness.
		Hassam's interest in painting the varied landscapes of the nation was quintessentially American, and it aligned him philosophically with his predecessors, the painters of the Hudson River School.

	CHILDE HASSAM 1859
		Childe Hassam was the premier Impressionist painter of New York City.
		Hassam's color range is narrow and organized around cool tones; there is a controlled thickness in the brushwork and the shades of green paint are slathered over the generalized shapes of the Brooklyn warehouses, the East River, the lower tip of Manhattan, and the distant glimpse of the Hudson River.
		Hassam's distant Brooklyn vantage point, the ribbons of mist partly shrouding the solid forms, as well as the evening light, soften the effect of the concrete canyons across the East River.

	Worcester Art Museum - The Breakfast Room, Winter Morning
		The idealized representation of a modern woman of leisure captured during an introspective moment was a popular subject for American artists at the turn of the century.
		In The Breakfast Room the form of the faceless subject is one of several elements- including the seemingly mundane silhouette of the window, the vase of flowers, and the bowl of fruit- that the artist used to balance his asymmetrical composition.
		Clearly, Hassam delighted in differentiating the visual effects of light on various textures, such as the sheer curtain, the gossamer fabric of the sitter's dress, the reflective surface of the tabletop, and the sparkling transparency of the glass vase.

	Childe Hassam
		While Hassam's French connection was recognized so early in his career that any reference to Claude Monet became an annoyance to him, impressionism was but one of three strong currents flowing through his art.
		Two others surged up earlier: popular culture made familiar through Hassam's work as an illustrator; and lessons of early nineteenth century British landscape painting, reinforced by the artistic leanings of Boston during the 1860s and 1870s, and furthered by Hassam's travels to England in the 1880s.
		Hassam's generation was preoccupied by evolutionary theory, and to him, the modern American woman represented a refinement of nature and culture that had been long in the making.

		OLD LYME, Conn. (AP) - In 1905, the father of American impressionism, Childe Hassam, painted "June," a mysterious picture of three nude women among the blooms of pink mountain laurel alongside the Lieutenant River, near Florence Griswold's rooming house.
		Hassam chose a specially carved and gilded frame from Italy for the painting, and he backed the canvas with a panel to protect it.
		The painting is a bit mysterious because it does not appear to tell a story, although the female figures have classical forms and poses.
