Childe Hassam

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Bred into his art is this vigorous quality, this New England thoroughness. And how essentially American his work is! He has absorbed the European influence of his younger days and stands alone profoundly American. This national integrity is without doubt the great need of American art to-day. This quality in the case of Hassam seems his birthright, for he is a Puritan.
