Now in PaperbackThomas Cole (1801-1848) is widely considered the founder of the popular Hudson River School of painting. Cole, who emigrated to the United States from England in 1819, awakened a passion for landscape that would characterize American painting throughout the 19th century and change the way Americans, and the world, viewed the young nation.
In a series of breathtaking canvases, painted principally in the Catskill Mountains, Cole portrayed vast spaces, awesome horizons, and vibrant color. Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, traces Cole's development and explores the Romantic theories that guided his thinking and informed his vision. Superb color reproductions bring Cole's paintings to life, revealing the America that once was.
EARL A. POWELL III, director of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., has written articles and exhibition catalogues on American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, and has curated exhibitions devoted to the art of those periods.

History of American Painting: That Wilder Image, the Native School from Thomas Cole to Winslow Homer
-
"Along the Juniata" focuses on the dissemination of American landscape imagery in the early to mid-19th century. Through a variety of media including drawings, paintings, engravings, and decorative arts, images of the American landscape were translated and reproduced in large numbers to provide an eager audience with examples of patriotic views and scenes of natural wonders. This book investigates the art of Thomas Cole as representative of this process and examines the means by which an 1827 drawing by the artist of a scene in the Allegheny Mountains was transformed into a painting, engraved copies, and adorned imported Staffordshire ceramics designed to appeal specifically to an American audience. The widespread use of this popular image by Cole demonstrates the cultural demand for images of the American landscape as it was fueled by a period of increased nationalism during the first half of the 19th century. Additionally, a selection of Hudson River School paintings and engravings illustrates the popularity of American landscape imagery as it appeared in painted and printed formats. The artists include Thomas Cole, Asher Brown Durand, Albert Bierstadt, John Frederick Kensett, John William Casilear, Jervis McEntee, Edmund Darch Lewis, Norton Bush, David Johnson, and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. These paintings are all recent discoveries and are illustrated for the first time. Nancy Siegel
