Label Text"I paint from cabs a good deal,” Hassam told an art journalist, when interviewed for a piece that appeared in an issue of Art Amateur in 1892. In so doing, Hassam was emulating the Parisian street scene specialist, Jean Béraud, with whom he was often compared. Driving along the fashionable neighborhoods of Fifth Avenue, Hassam captured on-the-spot the elegant facades of the mansions and clubs, as well as the well-heeled New Yorkers who patronized them. During the 1890s, Hassam was known as the painter of New York street scenes such as this, culminating in his most famous Impressionist Flag Series of 1916-1919, which commemorated the end of World War I.
