Twachtman,

who died in 1902, has been called one of the most

significant American impressionists and has been compared

to Monet. The High Museum exhibit features more than 50

paintings and pastels from various phases of the artist's

career and gives "an intimate look at this

innovative artist," the library said.

Twachtman's

house and garden and the distinctive features of his

property - a brook, a pool, a bridge and a cascade

- provide subject matter for many of his paintings,

according to the library.

Rosemary

Walden, a docent volunteer and art educator at the High,

will speak on American impressionism and the art of

Twachtman.

"Walden

is a dynamic art teacher and promoter of the arts,"

the library said. "Her knowledge and enthusiasm keep

audiences on the edge of their seats."

The public

is invited. The program is free.
