Modern and Contemporary Art Spring Landscape c. 1915 William Langson Lathrop, American, 1859 - 1938 Oil on canvas Currently not on view 1944-13-3 The Alex Simpson, Jr., Collection, 1944 |
LabelWilliam Lathrop was considered one of the first Pennsylvania Impressionists, although his intimate, poetic compositions were less influential among younger artists than the monumental paintings of Daniel Garber or Edward Redfield. Lathrop's preference for working in the studio, rather than out-of-doors, distinguished him from other artists in the group. He was also associated with a wider circle of American Impressionists, including J. Alden Weir and John Henry Twachtman, both of whom worked in Connecticut and New York. |
