Program 12 – American Impressionists at Lieutenant River, Connecticut (DVD)($19.95)(Sale Price $4.95)

David examines the distinctly American style of Impressionism that retained more of a basis of drawing and sketching and more of a reliance on classical forms – all inherited from the Hudson River Painters. He considers the new technologies in paint, new scientific ideas of perception, and their methods for realizing a sensual, personal vision on canvas as he paints a River scene reminiscent of the painting by Childe Hassam called Summer Afternoon.
