Landscape

1915
William Langson Lathrop (American, 1859–1938)
With Edward Redfield, William Lathrop founded an art colony in the town of New Hope in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Older than the other leaders of the group, he was inspired by an earlier generation of French landscape painting that emphasized tonal relationships and simple, banded compositions. His preference for working at an intimate scale, and in the studio rather than out of doors, also distinguished him from other artists in the group. Lathrop was associated with a wider circle of American Impressionists, including J. Alden Weir and John Henry Twachtman, who worked in Connecticut and New York.
