About The Hudson River School: American Landscape Artists
Product Description " During a fifty-year period, an artistic movement developed in America that was based on Romanticism and inspired by the wild areas in the vicinity of New York's Hudson River. The first native American school of landscape painting included artists Thomas Cole, Asher Brown Burand, and Thomas Doughty as well as Frederic Church, Thomas Moran, and Albert Bierstadt. While most of these artists did not think of thmeselves as belonging to a movement, they did share a sense of wonder at the grandeur of the New World's remarkable scenic wilderness"-- From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up�This set provides an in-depth look at the lives and legacies of several U.S. artists and their cultural movements. The authors examine in great detail their subjects� early lives and education and how their artwork fits into a broader historical context.
