The Lion Gardiner House, East Hampton

Childe Hassam

Date: 1920

Credit Line: Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection

Object number: 1995.6

Text Entries: After years of peripatetic traveling in the summer months for artistic inspiration, the Hassams bought Willow Bend, a colonial-era house on Long Island. After 1919, their mid-town Manhattan apartment and studio continued to be a winter domicile. However, each May until his death in 1934, Hassam retreated to the wide tree-lined village streets of East Hampton. After World War I, Hassam associated his distinguished New England lineage with Puritan values that he believed were lost in contemporary society's "melting pot" of cultures. Devoted to the colonial revival phenomenon, the artist selected New England subjects that, for him, symbolized a unified and, supposedly, homogenous society. Ironically, Hassam blended cultures in this print by portraying an exemplary subject of Yankee America in a style-impressionistic-associated with French art. The dappled sunshine that falls on the gray shingled exterior of the Lion Gardiner House, which was named for its distinguished colonial owner, is a tribute to French impressionism.

Mother West Wind

Bertha Lum

Date: 1920

Credit Line: Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection

Object number: 1996.38

Text Entries: As a child growing up in Iowa and Wisconsin, Bertha Lum's first exposure to the Japanese design aesthetic that would fascinate her all her life came in the form of magazines; late nineteenth-century popular periodicals typically urged "women unable to receive the help of experienced decorators" to employ "the aid of a good Japanese print, because it would be a simple matter to bring the room up to it." Only after studying at the Art Institute of Chicago and honeymooning in Japan in 1903 did Lum begin producing her own scenes from traditional Japanese daily life in the form of woodblock prints; it was a full decade, however, before she began thinking of herself as an artist rather than a craftsperson and started to approach galleries with her work. Lum and her two daughters traveled back and forth between the United States, Japan and China repeatedly between 1907 and 1953. She is best remembered for her interpretations of Japanese folktales and her abstracted depictions of natural elements.

Evening Wind

Edward Hopper

Date: 1921

Credit Line: Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection

Object number: 1994.20

Text Entries: Edward Hopper offers a poetic rendering of isolation and vulnerability in his print Evening Wind (Night Wind). Alone in the intimacy of her bedroom, a nude female figure looks towards an open window as the wind gently blows in. With her face turned away from the viewer she is anonymous, enigmatic and the subject of an unabashed voyeuristic gaze. Uncertainty is further heightened by what is not depicted outside the window: instead of neighboring buildings, street lamps or a darkening sky, the window frames a bright expanse of empty space. The nudity of the model, the rumpled bedclothes and the title of the print evoke a mood of sensuality yet desire is superceded by a sense of uneasiness, the result perhaps of the image's many ambiguities.
