Landscape Painting Comes to America : A World Journey from Classic to Plein Air-Apelles Through Inness
Bok av Katherine L Lewis
Inspired by the tranquil view waiting to be transferred to
canvas in Constable's English countryside, a new curiosity
disturbed the painter's concentration. How did America,
escaping her burdened beginnings, come to adapt Europe's
artistic superiority to her own first great school of
landscape painting?
Landscape Painting Comes to America, written by a painter,
details the development of landscape painting from
blank canvas to exhibition, documenting its long struggle
to become a genre unto itself while relating that development
to its historic migration across an ocean.
