British artists including J.M.W. Turner and John Constable raised landscape painting to new heights and their work reached global audiences through the circulation of engravings. Thomas Cole, born in England, emigrated to the United States in 1818, and first absorbed the picturesque and sublime through print media. Cole transformed British and continental European traditions to create a distinctive American form of landscape painting. The authors here explore the role of prints as agents of artistic transmission and look closely at how Cole's own creative process was driven by works on paper such as drawings, notebooks, letters, and manuscripts. Also considered is the importance of the parallel works of William Guy Wall, best known for his pioneering Hudson River Portfolio. Beautifully illustrated with works on paper ranging from watercolors to etchings, mezzotints, aquatints, engravings, and lithographs, as well as notable paintings, this book offers important insights into Cole's formulation of a profound new category in art--the American sublime." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An Inheritance in Print: Thomas Cole and the Aesthetics of Landscape, by Tim Barringer and Jennifer Raab; Working Papers: Thomas Cole's Early Drawings and Notebooks, by Nicholas Robbins; Idyllic and Industrial Visions: Thomas Cole, William Guy Wall, and the Hudson River, by Sophie Lynfold, by Catalogue, by Origins, by Picturesque, by Sublime, by Trans-Atlantic Inheritance.

Hardback. Condition: Good. On the two-hundredth anniversary of Frederic Edwin Church?s birth, leading scholars explore how his wide-ranging work continues to resonate in today?s world The work of Frederic Edwin Church (1826?1900), renowned American landscape painter, was indelibly shaped by global travel. Church?s art was defined by place: early trips took him to South America, across the northeastern United States, and to the Arctic; later he visited the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East; in his final decades, he spent long sojourns in Mexico. Intimate drawings and oil sketches executed on-site illuminate his encounters with new environments and cultures. Large, extravagantly detailed paintings produced for public exhibition made him internationally famous. The designed landscapes, extensive collections, and striking architecture of his home, Olana, in the Hudson Valley, reflect the many worlds through which he traveled. In Frederic Church: Global Artist, original essays by scholars from across the humanities reveal Church as an artist enmeshed in the economic and territorial expansionism of the nineteenth century. Church?s works engage with questions of industrialization and environmental destruction, the rise and fall of empires, the construction of national identity, and the cataclysmic effects of slavery and civil war. This lavishly illustrated volume examines the artist in his time and demonstrates his continuing relevance in our own. Published in association with the Olana Partnership Exhibition Schedule: Olana NY State Historic Site(May 17?October 25, 2026).…
