The Supplement: Charles Courtney Curran

Charles Courtney Curran (1861 - 1942) was an American impressionist painter and I'm sharing a selection of his work here, not because I'm a closet fan of Curran's nostalgic and sentimental milieu, but rather in simple celebration of his use of light and colour.  There's something both lambent and translucent about Curran's paintings - and that red umbrella packs a filmic punch!  I was particularly drawn to the street scene - just take a look at what's happening on the pavement, it's positively awash with colour!
