Context:
New England Headlands is a panoramic landscape depicting Gloucester, Massachusetts, one of Childe Hassam's favored summer haunts in his travels along the New England coast. Gloucester was home to many artists during the summer months, who, like Hassam, chose to emphasize its picturesque aspects (quaint architecture and sailing vessels) rather than the fish-drying and -packing plants that were prominent features of the landscape in this bustling fishing town. The work exhibits Hassam's development of broken, hypen-like brushwork and his use of bare canvas as a compositional device. Bright, saturated blues and crisp whites augment the maritime nature of the work, while the square canvas emphasizes its architectonic quality and harmoniously organized space.
