Item description from seller

160pp SOFTCOVER EDITION Published by The Edith C. Blum Institute, Bard College and The Vassar Colle ge Art Library for an exhibition held 1988 to 1989 at: Bard College, Vassar College Art Gallery, Albany Institute of History and Art, The Queens Museum, and finally at The Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York. This book presents the artists of the Hudson River School in an intriguing new light. Long regarded as devotees of untamed nature, these famed painters - Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic E. Church, and Asher B. Durand among them - are shown to have been equally interested in their own enviroment. The five experts' essays provide new insights into how the same aesthetic considerations that shaped the artist's paintings held true for their planned enviroment. These essays include: The Hudson Sits for Its Portrait: 1821-1902; Landscape Architecture and the Hudson River Valley: The Juncture of Nature and Technology; The Painted Environment; Documents of the Personal Landscape; The Artist's House and Studio in the Nineteenth-Century Hudson Valley. These are followed by a catalogue of plates; notes; brief chronology; and selected bibliography.
