Horseneck Falls, John Henry Twachtman
In 1890, John Henry Twachtman purchased a 17-acre farm in Connecticut and set up a studio. As he surveyed his new property, he discovered Horseneck Brook, a humble stream that fed a small waterfall. It was a scene that he would paint repeatedly. In the Museum’s painting, the rushing waterfall is almost abstracted because of the artist’s use of heavy paint applied by busy brushstrokes.
John Henry Twachtman (1853 – 1902) was best known for his impressionist landscapes, though his painting style varied widely through his career. Art historians consider Twachtman’s style of American Impressionism to be among the more personal and experimental of his generation. He was a member of “The Ten,” a loosely-allied group of American artists dissatisfied with professional art organizations, who banded together in 1898 to exhibit their works as a stylistically unified group.
Available as a fine art print and as a stretched canvas panel (heavy fine art canvas stretched over 1.5 inch deep edge solid wood frame).
All prints are made using archival art stocks and UV pigment inks to give up to 200 years life. Prints are sold unframed and unmounted.
