Artist: William Merritt Chase
Date: 1888
Museum: The Phillips Collection (Washington, D.C.)
Technique: Oil On Canvas
When Chase returned to New York in 1878 from his studies abroad, he was armed with the dark palette and bravura brushwork of the Munich school. Yet he remained receptive to other influences. By 1886 his work began to show the effects of plein-air painting, a technique he had practiced in Holland as early as 1880, but which he would not take up again until several years later, at Shinnecock, New York, where he produced many impressionist paintings. Hide and Seek is a transitional work: while its dark colors place it well within the tradition of the Munich school, its broken brushwork and the suggestion of a fleeting moment in time captured by light, foreshadow the landscapes that comprise Chase
