Maurice Brazil Prendergast's “Umbrellas in the Rain”…

1899 CE

Maurice Brazil Prendergast's “Umbrellas in the Rain” (1899; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), painted during his second European trip, reflects his new interest in Postimpressionist currents, especially in the paintings of Édouard Vuillard and Paul Cézanne and the doctrines of Pointillism.

A Newfoundlander, Prendergast had studied art for two years during the 1880s in Paris, where he had been influenced by the work of the French Impressionists and James McNeill Whistler.
