| Known primarily for his ethereal angel figures and idealized young women, Abbott Thayer also painted landscapes and delicate florals. Asked to join the Ten American Painters, a rebellion in 1897 of established New York and Boston artists defying traditionalism for Impressionism, he refused because he could not commit to the demands of regular production for exhibitions nor to their needs for organizational skills for which he was noted. His few surviving still lives are Impressionist (showing 500 of 3407 characters). |
