ArtFix Daily reported that the Canton Museum of Art, Canton, Ohio, had recently acquired a masterpiece watercolor by Childe Hassam, writing:

“Max Barton, Executive Director of Canton Museum of Art, said, “We are thrilled to add this important, classic work of American Impressionism to our collection. A work by Hassam has long been on our search list, and we acquired a fine piece with an elegant subject and beautiful orchestration of color. Clearly inspired by Hassam’s exposure to the French style in the late 1800s, the painting is vibrant and crisp, and you feel as though you could step in and stroll the coastal waterway with the young lady.”

“Purchase [from a private collection] of “Bleak House, Broadstairs” was made through the Museum’s Accession Fund, which is restricted solely for the purchase of art.”
