Heavy Surf, High Tide, Easthampton is a 1920 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows tall waves crashing against a rocky shore. The dark ink makes the water look thick and rough. Thin lines near the foam show how the waves move. Hassam made this in 1920 during a visit to Easthampton, New York. He often drew the ocean’s power in black-and-white prints. This one stands out for its bold lines and deep contrasts. If you like strong seascapes, look up Winslow Homer.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
