more tarbell



FYI: more Tarbell is supposed to sound like more cowbell for any Christopher Walken/Saturday Night Live fans.

Still and nonetheless, it always seems like American Impressionist Edmund Tarbell should be a better known name in the world of art, though he is well-respected and well-represented in museums. So many of his paintings have subtly unusual poses or compositions that make them memorable, and in that way he reminds me somewhat of French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte. And here is a bit more Tarbell for us all, namely The Blue Veil (1898), Across the Room (1891), and In the Orchard (1891).
