The Fourth of July by Childe Hassam, 1916, oil on canvas,
36 x 26 inches
This patriotic flag painting was painted by the American
Impressionist Childe Hassam (1859-1935).
I believe it to be a street in NY city, one of several pieces
he produced in this genre. These are some of the most
distinctive and famous works by the artist. There were around thirty painting in
his "Flag series". (Notice the flag in the foreground and how it has
only 48 stars as Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states in 1916.) Always an inspiration and one of my favorite
artists.
Happy 4th of July!
