MWW Artwork of the Day (6/27/23) Robert Reid (American, 1862-1929) The Mirror (c. 1910) Oil on canvas, 94.9 x 77 cm. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC (Gift of William T. Evans)

Known primarily for his murals in the Library of Congress and other public buildings, Reid also painted bold, richly colored figures and landscapes in the Impressionist manner. In 1897 he was inaugurated into the Ten American Painters, the youngest of that number, but affecting a dazzling palette that outshone the more somber tones of his colleagues. The decorative quality of his canvases prompted a major critic to dub him a “decorative Impressionist”; yet another called his work “sentimental” and “pretty,” all of which must have improved his sales in some markets. As Richard Boyle astringently remarks, “sentiment pervaded all the art world at that time. It was popular and it sold.”
