Dear Genirva;
I am reponding via the list since you did not include an e-mail address
in your message. I forwarded your message to our curator of American
Art, Ilene Fort - who has done extensive research and publication on
Hassam. She told me that she knew of one Oregon painting in a private
collection and that you should contact her so that she can pass your
request to the collector. her e-mail address is: [log in to unmask]

Department of American Art,
5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323)857-6527.
Sincerely,

I am hoping that I might be able to get some help from your readers. I am
really
struggling with finding some works by Childe Hassam.
As part of the Oregon Festival of American Music's annual summer program,
we
always feature an American artist (www.ofam.org). This year we will
feature
one
of Childe Hassam's flag paintings as the main artwork for Rags, Jazz
Blues &
Boogie Woogie. But we want to reproduce in our program book works that
Hassam
did on his 2 trips to Oregon to visit and work with Charles Erskine Scott
Wood.
I have only been able to locate 2 of the paintings from the time (e.g.
those
in
the Montross Gallery 1909 catalog ) -- the Harney Desert at Portland Art
Museum
and The Chinese Merchants at the Freer. Yale deaccessioned one in 1983,
that
I'm
tracking.
Does anybody have any information about works held in either private or
public
collections?
Thank you, Ginevra Ralph
