Hollyhocks, Isles of Shoals 1902

"Hollyhocks, Isles of Shoals" (1902) by Childe Hassam showcases the artist's mastery of Impressionism. The vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes capture the beauty of a garden overlooking the ocean, with tall stalks of hollyhocks dominating the foreground. The scene is bathed in sunlight, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility. Hassam's signature style is evident in the dappled light and the delicate rendering of the flowers, capturing the essence of a fleeting moment in time. This artwork, inspired by the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire, is a testament to Hassam's love of nature and his ability to translate its beauty onto canvas.
