William Chadwick

After high school William Chadwick moved to N.Y. and studied with George Bridgman, Joseph DeCamp, and John Twachtman at the Art Student's League. In 1902, after a year in Europe, he visited Old Lyme, CT for the first time and became an active participant in the Impressionist art colony centered at Florence Griswold's home. Who was Florence Griswold?

"Chadwick absorbed the tenets of Impressionism, and his landscapes exhibit that style's high-keyed palette and broken brushstroke, although Chadwick's Impressionism is marked for its subtler handling". (Source: Florence Griswold Museum)
