Impressionists
Impressionism, originating in France in the 1870s, is characterized by the use of vivid juxtaposed colors, applied in patterns of tactile brush strokes. Emerging from the practice of sketching outdoors with an extensive array of bright, portable, premixed paints, this style lent itself to the necessity of rapidly capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight on landscapes and figural subjects.
When American painters adopted this style, their challenge was to apply it to the rustic scenery of the New World with its white clapboard structures reflecting clear native sunlight. The most successful of these impressionists distinguished themselves by the uniqueness of their individual approaches to subject matter, color palette and technique.
John Twachtman's variations of his house, with scumbled patches of soft, blended shades; Theodore Robinson's angular hillsides, picked out in pink and green faceted strokes; and Childe Hassam's picturesque narratives, stitched in pure hues, are all immediately recognizable as emblematic of their work. Other artists whose paintings embody the union of these qualities are Soren Emil Carlsen, Charles H. Davis, Willard Metcalf, and Dwight Tryon.
