Golden Hour - Charles Courtney Curran and the Romance of American Impressionism

Published on February 5, 2026

Golden Hour - Charles Courtney Curran and the Romance of American Impressionism, traces the celebrated American painter’s journey from his Ohio roots to New York, Paris, and the mountaintop artists’ colony of Cragsmoor, New York, where he spent four decades capturing sunlit gardens, breezy mountaintops, and moments of quiet grace. Blending the elegance of the Gilded Age with the airy brushwork of American Impressionism, Curran’s paintings, filled with women in flowing white dresses, playful children, and lush floral landscapes, offer a luminous vision of summer at its most poetic. Drawn from public and private collections, the exhibition includes rarely seen works, early portraits, and period fashions that bring his idyllic worlds to life.

The exhibition runs from February 10 – May 24, 2026 at the Flagler Museum, One Whitehall Way, Palm Beach, FL 33480.
