Arthur Clifton Goodwin - Park Street, Boston [c.1908]


A painter especially known for street and waterfront scenes of Boston, Arthur Clifton Goodwin (Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 1864 - Boston, Massachusetts, 1929) did work that captured the subtle nuances of light and colour, creating a harmony between and the natural environment. His style reflected American Impressionism, although his subject matter was not typically rural. He preferred painting Boston and particularly scenes where the city met the natural landscape, such as piers, bridges, or the Boston statehouse.
