Who said it, Gêrome or Hassam?

From the article:

He [Hassam] joined a few other progressive American artists who were taking to heart the advice of French academic master Jean-Léon Gérôme, who abandoned his traditional subject matter and told his American peers, "Look around you and paint what you see. Forget the Beaux-Arts and the models and render the intense life which surrounds you and be assured that the Brooklyn Bridge is worth the Colosseum of Rome and that modern America is as fine as the bric-a-brac of antiquity."

The first sentence is ambiguous; was the quoted material said by Gérôme or by Hassam? It could be rewritten so as to be clear; might require consulting the footnoted source: Hiesinger, Ulrich W. (1991). Impressionism in America: the Ten American Painters, p. 20. Stevensaylor (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

the correct name of this painter is Frederick Childe Hassam, not "Childe Hassam". creating the link Frederick Childe Hassam in a wikipedia content page will show red (the entry does not exist), which is unhelpful. 209.148.114.239 03:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)Macevoy[reply]

He is most commonly known as Childe Hassam, that's why the article was created under this title. But thanks for pointing out the oversight, his full name would make a good redirect. --Etacar11 13:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is just speculation but the crescent he included with his signature might have something to do with The Ottoman or Islamic Crescent. Specially since the name Hassam is Arabic.

Catalogue raisonné

It's taken more than 40 years to complete a catalogue raisonné for Hassam. I'm confused why it would take so long. Viriditas (talk) 08:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
