“Hollyhocks, Isles of Shoals” is an artwork by Childe Hassam, created in the year 1902. This piece is part of the Impressionism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork vividly portrays a beautiful garden scene replete with numerous hollyhocks in full bloom. The hollyhocks, with their tall and slender stalks adorned with vibrant blossoms in shades of red and white, dominate the foreground of the landscape. Behind the flowers, a wooden fence is partially visible, leading towards a scenic view of a body of water, presumably the sea, under a clear, bright blue sky. The artist skillfully captures the interplay of sunlight and shadows, bringing the scene to life with dynamic and expressive brush strokes. The overall composition exudes a sense of tranquility and natural splendor, emblematic of Hassam’s Impressionist style.
