All ten artists were influenced by French Impressionism and each developed this style further customization. They lived and not acted as a "school" or as an artist colony but rather as cooperating individuals between New York and Boston, Massachusetts.

With emergence of group of artists, the painter Abbott Handerson Thayer and Winslow Homer were invited to join, but both refused. In 1902, the painter John Henry Twachtman died, was chosen by the group William Merritt Chase as his successor.
