Windham Village, J. Alden Weir
Bare trees, long shadows, and cool, lemony light demonstrate Julian Alden Weir’s interest in portraying a specific moment—a late afternoon in fall. In the 1870s, the artist harshly criticized French Impressionism, describing an exhibition he saw in Paris as “worse than the Chamber of Horrors.” However, by the early 20th century, he had abandoned this viewpoint and embraced the loose brushstrokes and lighter, pastel hues associated with the style.
Julian Alden Weir (August 30, 1852 – December 8, 1919) was an American impressionist painter and member of the Cos Cob Art Colony near Greenwich, Connecticut. Weir was also one of the founding members 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.
