A revelatory look at an underexplored chapter of American art,
which took place not on American soil but in France "Reveals the
fertile creative ground Americans discovered in Paris and
beyond."-Judith H. Dobrzynski, Wall Street Journal, exhibition
review In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
American artists flocked to France in search of instruction,
critical acclaim, and patronage. Some, including James McNeill
Whistler, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt, became highly
regarded in the French press, advancing their careers on both sides
of the Atlantic. Others, notably William Merritt Chase, John
Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing-part of the
association known as The Ten-found success working in the style of
the French Impressionists, while Henry Ossawa Tanner, Cecilia
Beaux, and Elizabeth Jane Gardner focused on genre and history
subjects. This richly illustrated volume offers a sophisticated
examination of cultural and aesthetic exchange as it highlights
many figures, including artists of color and women, who were left
out of previous histories. Celebrated scholars from both American
and French institutions detail the complex history and diverse
styles of these expatriate artists-styles ranging from conservative
academic modes to Tonalism-and provide original perspectives on
this fertile period of creativity, expanding our understanding of
what constitutes American art. Published in association with the
