American impressionist Guy Carleton Wiggins traveled widely in the U.S., Europe, and Mexico from the 1880s to 1920s, studying the New England countryside, coastlines in Calais, and bustling Saltillo streets. Back home in the United States, he, like colleagues Robert Henri, Childe Hassam, and John Noble interpreted French painting styles—especially impressionism and post-impressionism—to describe American environments, from snow-covered hills in Connecticut to brimming avenues in New York City.

Country, City, Shore is organized by the Wichita Art Museum with works from the collection.
