About this ebook

Chase worked in all media but was excellent in pastel drawing. He as well created a lot of watercolor paintings and etchings. Highly proficient in pastel as well as oils, Chase organized with Robert Frederick Blum the American Society of Painters in Pastel, and is viewed as one of the most accomplished artists in this medium. Chase was a member of the Ten (Ten American Painters), but also devoted much of his time to teaching, first at his New York studio, than at the Students League. He also taught at his summer home in Shinnecock, Long Island, at the Chase School (which he founded), and later at the New York School of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His students included Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth , Edward Hopper , Georgia O'Keeffe , and Charles Sheeler.

    Chase worked in all media but was most fluent in oil painting and pastel. He as well created watercolour paintings and etchings. He is perhaps best known for his portraits, his sitters including some of the most important men and women of his time in addition to his own family. Chase often painted his wife Alice and their children, sometimes in individual portraits, and other times in scenes of domestic tranquility: at breakfast in their backyard, or relaxing at their summer home on Long Island,
