William Merritt Chase at Shinnecock - Currently Unavailable

A survey of the life and work of American painter William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), beginning with his student days in Munich and early career in New York City. Highlights his years at Shinnecock, Long Island, New York, where the artist established the first important outdoor summer school of art in the United States in 1891. Interweaves images of Chase's paintings and archival photographs with footage of the hills and beaches of Shinnecock and of Chase's house and studio as they are today. Hosted by Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr., curator at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

Curator's Comments: Nicely filmed homage to the artist, illustrating his life through his paintings. More a scenic catalogue than a detailed study of Chase's work but will appeal to general audiences.
