The Garden Party The Phillips Collection

A longtime student of William Merritt Chase at the Shinnecock Summer School on Long Island (Southampton), Gifford Beal found critical and commercial success early in his career. Landscape with figures was a favorite motif in Beal’s pictures and he was said to have the “power to render crowds in motion.” His impressionist landscapes, bathed in color and light and depicting the upper-class enjoying everyday life in the Hudson River Valley from Newburgh to Poughkeepsie, appealed to both critics and collectors alike.
