The Cos Cob Art Colony: Impressionists on the Connecticut Shore Book

"What Argenteuil in the 1870s was to French Impressionism, Cos Cob between 1890 and 1920 was to American Impressionists Childe Hassam, Theodore Robinson, John H. Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, and their followers. These artists and writers came together to work in the modest Cos Cob section of Greenwich, Connecticut, testing new styles and new themes in the stimulating company of colleagues. This book is the first to examine the art colony at Cos Cob and the role it played in the development of American Impressionist art."--BOOK JACKET.

This generously illustrated book accompanies an exhibition that opens at the National Academy of Design in New York on 14 February 2001 and then travels to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, on 17 June and the Denver Art Museum on 27 October.
