John
Henry Twachtman - 1853-1902 (Soft
Cover)
Cincinnati-born John Henry Twachtman was one of the most original
artists of his era. During his early career, he studied in Munich
and Paris, and was a prominent figure in a generation of cosmopolitan
American artists who broke away from the literal realism of the
Hudson River School, turning to European art for inspiration and
developing subjective and expressive styles. His approach gradually
evolved from a dark realist manner in the late 1870s to a tonal
lyrical aesthetic in the mid-1880s that reflected the influence
of the art of James McNeill Whistler. During the 1890s, Twachtman
developed a distinctive and personalized Impressionist method, with
which he captured nuances of light and atmosphere in the familiar
landscape near his home in Greenwich, Connecticut. This 24-page
black and white catalogue accompanied a landmark 1968 exhibition
of Twachtman's art at Spanierman Gallery. It includes an essay by
Richard J. Boyle and sixteen black and white plates. Order
