Abstract (en)

Discusses the formation of art colonies in Holland by American artists, 1880-1900; and surveys American paintings of Dutch subjects (mainly landscape and genre scenes of rural life), which implied that unlike America, Holland had preserved the moral tenor and cultural richness of its 17th c. heritage. Artists mentioned include Gari Melchers, William E. Norton, and George Hitchcock.
