The Big Parade, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Childe Hassam is a captivating oil painting that captures the essence of a bustling city street during the early twentieth century. Measuring at 20.4x22.7 cm, this close-up view allows us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant energy of the scene. The artist's impressionistic style brings life to every brushstroke, creating a sense of movement and dynamism within the large group of people depicted. The busy street is filled with bystanders and background figures, all going about their day in an urban setting that exudes both optimism and patriotism. Amidst the crowd, flags from various nations wave proudly - from the British Union Flag to the French Tricolor and even our very own Stars and Stripes. This hints at a time when allies stood together during wartime, fostering loyalty and allegiance among its citizens. As we observe this lively procession unfold before us, we can't help but be entertained by its sheer size and activity. The artwork serves as a reminder of entertainment events held during war times when people sought solace in community gatherings. Hassam's "The Big Parade" not only showcases his mastery as an American Impressionist painter but also encapsulates an era where unity prevailed despite challenging circumstances. This print allows us to appreciate this remarkable piece up close while reflecting on themes such as patriotism, loyalty, and positive concepts that continue to resonate throughout history.
