Am Meer

ca. 1892
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
Von 1891 bis 1902 war Chase Direktor der Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art in der Stadt Southampton, New York. Er lehrte zwei Tage pro Woche und verbrachte den Rest seiner Zeit mit Malen und der Gesellschaft seiner Familie. Auf diesem Bild entspannen sich Frauen und Kinder am Strand – wahrscheinlich in Shinnecock Bay – einem idealen Ort für bürgerliches Müßiggängertum an einem perfekten Tag. Die Szene wird von einem breiten Himmel abgeschnitten, der die gesamte obere Hälfte der Leinwand ausfüllt und mit seinen jagenden Wolken die strahlend weißen Formen der Kinderkleidung widerspiegelt.
