The works of the American Impressionists, like those of their European counterparts, appear to be infused with light and energy. They achieved this effect by using loose brushwork and vivid colors. While the American Impressionists painted a wide array of subject matter, they mainly focused on landscapes and the leisure activities of the middle- and upper-class. Most American Impressionists, like the Anschutz Collection’s John Henry Twachtman and Childe Hassam, chose to portray the countryside to which urbanites like themselves and their patrons retreated. Come learn about American Impressionism and its ties to the West at this illuminating Artful Insight.
