The evolution of American landscape art
- January 10, 2010 09:24
New Britain Museum of American Art has installed seven exceptional Hudson River School paintings, on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in its permanent collection galleries of artwork from the period. Works by Frederic Church, Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, and others, present a beautiful, thoughtful and ultimately satisfying little show with much to recommend it. Together they tell an engaging story of the evolution of 19th-century American landscape art.
