Studies of an Autumn Day

John Leslie Breck

Date: 1891

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

Object number: 1989.4.10

Text Entries: John Leslie Breck's early work was often large in scale and dark in color. He dramatically altered his artistic approach, however, after his sojourn to France in the mid-1880s. Executed over a period of three days in the Normandy village of Giverny, Breck's small studies are an analysis of atmospheric changes from dawn to dusk. They were first shown in Boston in 1893 unframed and side-by-side in an exhibition along with the much larger "Morning Fog and Sun." Most likely begun in the outdoors but finished in the studio, these paintings were left unvarnished by the artist, enhancing the freshness and immediacy of Breck's subject matter: the natural cycle of time, movement, and change.

Garden at Giverny

John Leslie Breck

Date: c. 1887–91

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

Object number: 1999.18

Text Entries: Giverny: visited summer 1887; subsequent visits until 1891 John Leslie Breck was one of the first Americans to visit the provincial French village and soon returned with his mother, musician brother and various companions, establishing Giverny's art colony. Breck befriended Giverny's most celebrated resident Claude Monet, and this early painting is one of a number thought to have been done in the French painter's garden. Breck was one of the earliest American practitioners of impressionism's viable formal elements, evidenced in this representation of outdoor light effects. Breck's friendship with Monet and tenure at Giverny ended in 1891 concurrent with Monet's disapproval of the romantic interest in his step-daughter, Blanche Hoschedé, exhibited by the American artist.
