This loosely knit group of artists, together with like-minded poets and writers, forged a self-consciously “American” landscape vision and literary voice. This exhibition will comprise of 40 paintings by 25 artists ranging in date from 1818 to 1886, and offers a varied survey of important paintings conceived in the style of the Hudson River School depicting the varied scenery along its banks, among them the Catskills, Adirondack and White Mountains that provided the subject for their landscape masterpieces.
