Edmund Charles Tarbell was an American🎨 Impressionist painter.

Edmund Tarbell contributed to America's place in the world of art.

To him and his work Europe turned its eyes in admiration, as did the whole people in America.

Tarbell's works were honest works.

In him was none of the transient sensationalism which brought notoriety to others.

Tarbell canvases will be speaking to the world centuries from now.

His character was as true as his art.

He was a leading member of a group of painters which came to be known as the Boston School.

Tarbell won many art prizes🎨 and medals, an honorary doctorate from Dartmouth College in 1929, and served as juror of painting at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition, and the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition.

He was elected a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1906, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1927.
