Spent five years in France, influenced by Monet. Became of the leading exponents of American Impressionism or "luminism". Worked as a painter and illustrator after return from Europe. In 1898 helped to found "The Ten", a group of rebels against the conservative American Academy. Influenced by Whistler. Began to etch in 1898 but these plates not completed until 1915. In 1917 began to experiment with lithography, but his lithographs were not commercially successful. ~~Reference: Cortissoz, Royal "The Etchings and Dry-points of Childe Hassam, N.A."
