Telfair’s collection of American Impressionism was established by Gari Melchers, who served as the museum’s fine arts advisor from 1906 through 1916 and continued advising the museum informally through the 1920s. An artist himself, Melchers was able to acquire works for Telfair directly from his friends and colleagues, including Childe Hassam, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Willard Metcalf, and William Merritt Chase.
