A prolific painter and a foremost American Impressionist, Childe Hassam may be most important in his role as a bridge between American art and the Impressionist art of Europe. He was a leader in introducing Impressionism to America and remained committed to it. He had great difficulty accepting later avant garde art movements and was quite outspoken against them. He remained true to American Impressionism and by the time he passed away in 1935 most Americans had come to love it too.
