Frederick Childe Hassam (1859 – 1935) was an American Impressionist painter.
On his second trip to Europe in 18861887, Hassam had been among the first Americans to embrace French impressionism. With his New Englander's worship of order, however, he consistently subjected his compositions and brushstrokes to a geometric rigor. Hassam even claimed, somewhat dubiously, "I have to de-bunk the idea that I use dots of color, so called, or what is known as Impressionism." [1]
Hassam was a prolific artist with more than 3,000 works. His most distinctive and famous works of his later life are a set of paintings known as the "Flag series".
