Ten American Painters

The Ten American Painters (also known as The Ten) was an artists' group formed in 1898 to exhibit their do its stuff as a unified group. John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, and Childe Hassam were the driving forces at the back the organization. Dissatisfied with the conservatism of the American art establishment, the three artists recruited seven others from Boston, New York City, and elsewhere on the East Coast, with the goal of creating an exhibition work that valued their view of originality, imagination, and exhibition quality. The Ten achieved popular and valuable success, and lasted two decades past dissolving.
