Summary
"Trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia and arguably the stylistic leader of the Pennsylvania impressionist school of painting, Edward W. Redfield (1869-1965) was fascinated by the forces that color an individual's reaction to nature. His paintings reflect an engagement with the American experience in an unsentimental impressionist style. Redfield understood that art is an expressive activity rooted in sensibility and feeling." "During the first decade of the twentieth century, Redfield was one of the most popular and widely exhibited painters in America. His paintings captured the rawness and energy of America during a period of transformation from a predominantly agrarian society to an industrialized, capitalist nation." "With access to the Redfield family archives, Constance Kimmerle is able to broaden the understanding of the artist and his work. Using primary sources, including Redfield's personal letters and his journals, Kimmerle creates an intimate portrait of one of America's greatest impressionist painters."--BOOK JACKET.
