Beach at East Hampton by Childe Hassam is a peaceful coastal scene, typical of the American Impressionist’s fascination with light and nature. The painting captures the bright, airy atmosphere of East Hampton’s beach, with the sky and sea blending into soft, pastel tones. Hassam’s use of short, visible brushstrokes conveys the sense of movement in the waves and the breeze, while the calm composition invites viewers to bask in the tranquility of the seaside. This painting reflects Hassam’s skill in capturing the changing effects of light on nature.
