Folts, Paintings and Drawings by Philip Leslie Hale 1865-1931 from the Folts Collection at the Vose Galleries of Boston, exhi. cat. (Boston: Vose Galleries, 1966), p. 15, no. 21, illus. Gail R. Scott, E. Ambrose Webster Chasing the Sun (Manchester and New York: Hudson Hills Press, 2009), p. 41 color illus. During his years in Paris, from 1887 to 1893, Philip Leslie Hale became familiar with the art of the Symbolists, Nabis, and Post-Impressionists, whose work he covered as a correspondent for the Montreal based art journal Arcadia. This experience, and the time he spent in Giverny, strongly influenced the Impressionist style that he formulated in his own painting after his return to Boston in the mid-1890s. This period of his work is epitomized by A Summer Visit, which he painted in the summer of 1895 during an extended stay with his aunt, the writer Susan Hale, in Matunuck, RI. In this and similar works, such as Girls in Sunlight of the same year (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), Hale pioneered a technique intended to express the effects of brilliant sunlight. Using a palette dominated by bright yellow laid on with divisionist brushwork, he was able to depict a range of reflective objects, including the diaphanous dresses of the ladies, their light retentive parasols, and the shimmering surface of one of the area's salt ponds. In this painting we can also see the influence of Hale's interest in Japanese art in the uptilted picture plane and the patterned foliage in the lower register.
