William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) was a brilliant observer,
an innovative painter, and a leader in international art circles at the turn of
the last century. Rediscover this important and overlooked master, praised for
his artistic skill in both oil and pastel, as well as for the variety of his
subjects: sympathetic images of women, jewel-like landscapes, views of urban
parks, and scenes of children at play.
The first complete examination of the
artist in more than three decades, “William Merritt Chase” brings together 80
of the painter’s finest works in both oil and pastel, drawn from public and
private collections across the US. This major international traveling
exhibition, co-organized by The Phillips Collection (Washington, DC), the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fondazione Musei Civici Venezia (Venice), and the
Terra Foundation for American Art, sheds new light on the work of one of our
country’s leading American Impressionists.
