William Merritt Chase - Landscape: Shinnecock, Long Island - c1896
In 1891, with the support of wealthy patrons such as Mrs. Andrew Carnegie and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, the well-connected Chase founded the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art in Long Island’s exclusive Southampton, where for over a decade he taught his variety of deftly produced plein air painting. Residing amid the dunes, Chase continued to produce his own art, which in response to his surroundings assumed a lightened appearance. Landscape: Shinnecock, Long Island is a particularly successful example of a group of similar scenes showing members of Chase’s family at rest or play. The carefully balanced image combines in its small squarish format the artist’s favorite subject matter—landscape and the sympathetic depiction of the leisure class - Princetown University Art Museum
