Different Views in Hudson River School Painting

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines the Hudson River School artists' practice of creating thematically related pairs and series of paintings. This volume reveals the subtleties of the works and discusses their shared iconography, the ways in which artists responded to one another's paintings, and how the paintings reflected 19th-century American cultural and social milieus.
