The Cos Cob Art Colony
Impressionists on the Connecticut Shore
Susan G. Larkin
What Argenteuil in the 1870s was to French Impressionists, Cos Cob between 1890 and 1920 was to American Impressionists Childe Hassam, Theodore Robinson, John 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 beautiful book is the first to examine the art colony at Cos Cob and the role it played in the development of American Impressionist art.
Susan G. Larkin is an independent art historian and curator who has published and lectured widely on American art.
Published by the National Academy of Design, New York, in association with the Yale University Press.
77 color plates and 62 black-and-white illustrations
