Excerpt from Catalogue of the Completed Pictures Studies and Sketches: Left by the Late William Merritt Chase, N. A.; The Artistic Studio Effects and His Important Collection of Paintings by Native and Foreign Artists of the Old and Modern Schools It was after examining, with interest and admiration, a considerable number of the pictures in this collection - both Mr. Chase's own works, and canvases he had purchased by other artists of modern and of ancient times - that it occurred to me to ask Mr. Irving R. Wiles, N.A., Mr. Chase's pupil, admirer and friend, to write for this catalogue an appreciation of Mr. Chase the painter as the best sort of interpretation of the paintings here found. For to know Chase the man and artist is to understand the artistic worth of the pictures, and few even of his profession knew him so well as Mr. Wiles. Mr Wiles happily consented, turning to the individual and not burdening himself with a review of this collection, with which he is well acquainted through sharing with the owner in view and criticism during many years. The pictures in the collection are of most varied character, from museum and private gallery canvases to mere sketches and odd "bits" for studio fancy - among the latter some of the most interesting for artist and true amateur - agreeing in all important and some unimportant instances in one characteristic, good painting. Many especially of the older pictures were obviously bought wholly for the pleasure of the painter's eye in his studio or as suggestions of quality achieved, either in the painting or in the harmony of time. A few contemporaneous efforts seem to have been bought for the encouragement of their student producers. Mr. Chase's own works cover all his periods and all his branches and appear in all states, from sketch to completion.

A landmark retrospective that examines William Merritt Chase and his lasting contribution to the history of modern art The history of modern art owes a great debt to William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), one of America's influential artists and educators. Chase was a leading member of the international artistic avant-garde and was best known for his mastery of a wide range of subjects in oil and pastel, including figures, landscapes, urban park scenes, interiors, and portraits. As a teacher and founder of the Shinnecock Summer School of Art and the New York School of Art, Chase mentored a new generation of modernists, including Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Joseph Stella. A century after his death, the breadth and richness of Chase's career are celebrated in this beautifully illustrated publication. Five essays by prominent scholars of American art offer new insights into Chase's multi-faceted artistic practice and his position in the international cultural climate at the turn of the 20th century.
