Summary:
"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.
