“Mrs. Hassam’s Garden at East Hampton,” created by Childe Hassam in 1934, belongs to the Impressionism movement and falls within the genre of genre painting. The artwork exhibits vibrant colors and a lively depiction of a garden scene, characteristic of Hassam’s impressionistic style.
The artwork portrays an inviting garden setting, centered around a tree whose trunk is encircled by a hexagonal bench. To the left of the bench lies a table adorned with a clear vase filled with yellow lilies and an array of apples spread on a plate. A colorful textile, featuring shades of red, yellow, blue, and green, is draped over the table, adding to the lively and dynamic atmosphere. The background is a lush tapestry of green foliage and tall grasses, interwoven with pockets of vibrant flowers. The overall scene evokes a tranquil yet vivid depiction of the garden, rendered in the characteristic loose brushstrokes and vivid color palette of the Impressionist movement.
