Orlando Museum of Art Orlando, FL http://www.omart.org T he Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) exhibits July 25 - September 26, 1999. The collection includes paintings by a group of artists from the Hudson River Valley who first established the tradition of American landscape painting. Known as the Hudson River School, the paintings emerged in the 1820s and have been instrumental in shaping Americans' views towards art and nature. Rather than nature serving as a back drop for history paintings or portraits, the artists from the Hudson River School illustrated the changing power and beauty of the American wilderness. This was evident through their dramatic depictions of nature and subjects ranging from sublime views of wilderness to pastoral scenes and pictures with moral messages. At the height of the movement, paintings were meant to celebrate the presence of God in nature. The artists saw the natural American environment as a source for divine expression and inspiration. Organized by the Albany Institute of History and Art, this 26 painting collection includes works from renowned artists such as: Thomas Cole Asher Durand Frederic Edwin Church Jasper Cropsey ... David Johnson and George Inness . The artists were chosen for the exhibition to demonstrate how the meaning and importance of these works have changed over time.

H udson River School - A group of American landscape painters of the mid-nineteenth century, who took a Romantic approach to depicting the Hudson River Valley, and of the Catskill, Berkshire, and White Mountains, as well as lands further west. As the American frontier moved westward, the Hudson River painters' views of this expanding territory found an enthusiastic audience .

Desktop OUR AFFILIATES Frye mounts small jewels of Hudson River art Thursday, January 27, 2000 By REGINA HACKETT SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER ART CRITIC The first real art movement Americans could call their own was the Hudson River School of landscape painters, active on the East Coast from 1825 to 1878. Among tiny gems in the Hudson River exhibit is William McDougal Hart's "Twilight in the Catskills," 1860, oil on panel, 6 1/4-by-5 1/4 inches. Before that, painters were useful for making portraits of family members and their possessions. Anybody who wanted more went to Europe. Eighteenth-century America was a practical place, populated by those who had more important things to do than contemplate the complexities and refinements of aesthetic objects. Led by Thomas Cole, the Hudson River painters were, first of all, great salesmen. They convinced their countrymen that, as Americans, they had a hammerlock on the sublime. Only they had the good fortune to be living in an artwork. Let Europe have its cathedrals; the open air was America's church, built by the hand of God. Thanks to the miracle of painting, the wealthy could take a little of God's handiwork home with them.

Beginning with Thomas Cole in 1825 and ending by the late 1870s, the Hudson River School was known for its dramatic depictions of nature and subjects ranging from sublime views of the wilderness to pastoral scenes and allegorical pictures with moral messages. At the height of the movement in the 1840s, these paintings were meant to celebrate the presence of God in nature. In keeping with the tenets of Romanticism, these artists saw the natural American environment as a source for divine expressions. By the end of the nineteenth century, interest in the Hudson River School declined, and the new paintings were considered old-fashioned. However, after World War I, there was a renewal of interest, sparked by patriotism, and these American landscapes were viewed as evidence of the simplicity and independence of life in the United States, symbolizing American strength and individualism.

Introduction The Hudson River School represents the first native school of American Art. Dating from the 1820s, it was a loosely organized group of painters who took as their subject the unique naturalness of the American continent, starting with the Hudson River region in New York, but eventually extending in time and space all the way to California and the 1870s. The time period in which the school's artists were active was a time of momentous social, political and economic change in American history, and the work of the Hudson River School artists represents part of the process of national self-conceptualization taking place in those years. In the course of its fifty year history, the paintings of the Hudson River School spoke in symbolic language to both a great hopefulness and a wistful remnicience of the American experiment, a celebration of the primeival American landscape, the entrance of technology into that landscape, and eventually sorrow at its passing, to both a belief in a Provinically ordained destiny and the crisis of the Civil War. Despite, or perhaps as a result of this fluidity of meaning, these landscape paintings lay claim to an important place in American art history and in the American cultural consciousness. They represent the undeniable place that nature has and continues to occupy in the American imagination. During his travels in America

The name derives from a group of seventy-two 19th-century landscape painters working in New York state. With realistic composition, they depicted romantic views of unsettled areas of the Hudson River Valley especially lakes, rocky gorges, and forests in the Catskill Mountains. About a fourth of these artists utilized luminism or effects with special lighting techniques to convey lofty emotions through contrasts of light and dark. Included in this Hudson River luminist category were Washington Allston, Albert Bierstadt, William Hart, and Frederic Edwin Church.

Hudson River School - Alyson Greenlee A brief overview of the school and biographies of both the commonly known and less recognized artists.Category arts art History Movements hudson river school...... The birth of the hudson river school style launched an era in which museums and galleriesfocused on American art rather than European art for the first time. http://www.marist.edu/summerscholars/99/culture/ag02.htm

Hudson River School Alyson Greenlee In the foreground are darkly lit birch trees sporting orange and yellow leaves. Patches of moss and tangles of roots meet a rocky shoreline. In the distance, the sunlight reveals mountaintops. Ominous clouds allow but one stream of light to penetrate, and it hits the surface and casts light over the entire body of water. It was a style of painting never before seen and it came to be called The Hudson River School style. Founded by artist Thomas Cole in 1825, the style involved the use of intensely rich, luministic colors. The works were painstakingly detailed and brought feeling to the landscapes. This artistic approach became popular during what is commonly referred to as the Romantic Period, when our nation was still young. Americans were yearning for artistic identity. Artists were looking for exciting and unique American images, and the Hudson River readily supplied them. The wilderness look of the region attracted many painters. The birth of the Hudson River School style launched an era in which museums and galleries focused on American art rather than European art for the first time. Importantly, the school helped make Manifest Destiny a popular idea, and thus contributed to our nation's western expansion. Several well-known artists got their starts as students of the Hudson River School, including Jasper Francis Cropsey with his famous "Autumn on the Hudson." By the 1870s, the Hudson River School style was considered unfashionable and tedious. Nearly all of the works of this style had disappeared. Today, however, Hudson River School style paintings frequently sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars and are as highly esteemed as ever.

The Hudson River School European Roots Stylistically, the Hudson River School artists were following in the footsteps of European predecesors. Landscape first began to emerge as a genre in its own right in the mid 17th century. Both Dutch and French artists began to produce paintings of large scale in which the relationship between traditional narrative subject matter and the setting in which the narrative elements were placed was inverted. Instead of foregrounding figures and architectural details of Biblical and mythic tales like the Rest on the Flight From Egypt , the Embarkation of Saint Ursula and the Judgement of Paris , whose narratives called for settings out-of-doors, artists like Claude Lorrain Jan van Goyen and Jacob van Ruisdael used these subjects as an excuse to paint the grandiose landscape scenes in which they were truly interested. The figures and structures were included solely as minute elements of their large canvases. The Europeans also showed an almost scientific attention to detail within the natural landscape. They moved out of doors to do their preliminary sketching instead of trying to capture nature through an observation of rocks and branches inside their studios as the Renaissance astists had done. Even in their sketches , their attention to light and shadow is evident.

St. Michael Gallery of Art Jasper F. Cropsey Collections ... Past Events The Hudson River School of Painting At the advent of the nineteenth century, American painting consisted mainly of portraiture. In Europe, paintings of historical and biblical events were prevalent along with figure painting and some portraiture. As America was in her infancy, historical subjects were scarce, as was the affluence needed to develop interest and support for the arts and other cultural developments. The few art patrons that existed commissioned mostly individual and family portraits. For the most part, landscape painting was relegated to cartographic and military uses. Some American artists attempted figure painting and biblical renderings in the "great style" of the Europeans, but these were not very popular. In 1825, two events occurred which would raise patronage and interest in the arts to a new level in America. The first event was the "discovery" of Thomas Cole (1801-1848), the second event was the opening of the Erie Canal. In New York City, a frame-makers shop displayed three landscape paintings by Cole. These paintings were "discovered" by the artist Colonel John Trumbull and were purchased by Trumbull and two other artists, Asher B. Durand and William Dunlap. Thomas Cole Jasper Cropsey

"The great cultural project of the 19th century was to explore the relations between man and nature, to learn to see nature as the fingerprint of God's creation . . . No previous age had brought such passionate scrutiny to nature, from the highest Alp to the smallest pollen of grain . . ." Robert Hughes, American Visions (1997) Hudson River School The Hudson River School began in 1825 with the paintings of Thomas Cole . Artists like Cole, Asher Durand , and Thomas Doughty set about to heed Ralph Waldo Emerson's call "to ignore the courtly Muses of Europe" and define a distinct vision of America. Wilderness was something that Europe no longer possessed it was uniquely American. These artists painted grandiose and detailed panoramas in the Hudson Valley and New England filled with awe and optimism often combined with a moral message. Human beings were minuscule in these vast compositions, but were nevertheless in harmony with nature. By the 1850's, there was a new generation of Hudson River School artists including

Thomas Moran The Hudson River School "Writing of Claude Lorrain, an artist against whom the Hudson River painters measured themselves on their excursions abroad, Roger Fry said, "Claude's view of landscape is false to nature in that it is entirely anthropocentric. His trees exist for pleasant shade; his peasants to give us the illusion of pastoral life, not to toil for a living. His world is not to be lived in, only to be looked at in a mood of pleasing melancholy or suave revery." But I wonder if there ever was a form of landscape painting that is not "false" in this sense. The landscapes we represent are in effect texts in which our feelings and beliefs about nature, and hence about ourselves as inside and outside nature, are inscribed. According to Wen Fong, Travelers in a Wintry Forest These were works of high Romanticism, illustrations, so to speak, of texts such as Coleridge's "Frost at Midnight":

Focusing on the images of American Wilderness, Hudson River School artists including Asher B. Durand, Frederic Church, and Albert Bierstadt captured the imagination of Americans with their idealized landscape portraits. Contrasting the wilderness ideal with diminutive human presence, this school popularized the movement towards Western Expansion and Manifest Destiny.

Hudson River Artists Joanna Longcore The Hudson River School influenced many artists of the nineteenth century. Many of these artists often studied, worked, and traveled together. Some of these artists include: Albert Bierstadt Albert Bierstadt was only two years old when his family immigrated to America and settled in Massachusetts. He always had an interest in becoming an artist, and succeeded even though his parents tried to persuade him away from this career. In 1853 he traveled to Europe to study at the Dusseldorf Academy in Germany, where he met fellow Hudson River School artists such as Whittredge and Gifford. In 1858 he was made an honorary professional member of the National Academy, and in 1860 he was elected a full member to the National Academy of Design. He is best well known for his huge panoramic landscapes of the unsettled Midwest, although he was also an influential member of the Hudson River School of Art. Some of his most famous paintings include "Garden of the Rockies", "The Bombardment of Fort Sumter", "Yosemite Valley", and "Lower Yellowstone Falls". John Casilear John Casilear began to study engraving when he was only 15 years of age. When his teacher died he began to study in Asher Durand's studio with other pupils including John Kensett. Asher Durand was a founder of the Hudson River school of art.
