Hirshler illuminates the context of Childe Hassam''s 1880s city scene. With its rosy rust tones, intimate familial vignette and quiet expanse of snow-laden park, today At Dusk (Boston Common at Twilight) seems to encourage reflection and represent a decidedly old-fashioned city. Yet Hirshler reveals the ways in which the painting visually signaled the emerging modern city, from subtleties about women''s place in the urban landscape to the uproarious clang of the streetcars that would have been heard on the busiest block in Boston. Enriched with reproductions of related paintings and archival illustrations, this evocative volume explores the countered conventions and bulldozed buildings behind the canvas''s creation. Carefully researched and elegantly presented, the latest addition to the \u003ci\u003eMFA Spotlight\u003c\/i\u003e series will delight Hassam fans and history buffs alike.","brand":"Museum of Fine Arts,Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528370823511,"sku":"9780878468379","price":9.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780878468379.jpg?v=1731871372","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/childe-hassam-9780878468379","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
