Carter's suit coat is draped over the arm of the couch, the label up: "Hart Schaffner & Marx, A. Cohen & Sons, Americus, Ga." The walls ripple with impressionism. Behind his chair is Childe Hassam's Flag Day, and to his right another Hassam, Old House at Easthampton. Near the door, Niagara Falls plunges silently, a swirl of delicate blues and pinks in an oil by John Twachtman. Fronting the desk is a huge painting of Rosalynn and Amy from the days in the Georgia statehouse, simple, almost ethereal...

An impressive figure even in later life, he would daily stalk across the dunes in a 200-year-old Chinese robe, fling it off, and plunge into the surf. Occasionally, Hassam even departed from pragmatism, painting such fantasies as Adam and Eve Walking Out on Montauk Point in Early Spring. Whereas Monet in his old age quietly painted his water lilies, the American impressionist traced the rustic tranquillity of the Hamptons' shingled cottages, windmills, and seacoast...
