Thomas Cole And The Hudson River School Of Art |
| Description: |
Thomas Cole is considered to be the founder of the American art movement known as the Hudson River School. The Hudson River School is a romantic landscape art which mainly explored the wilderness and landscapes of New York and New England, although later artists branched out, applying Hudson River School techniques to the American west and South America.The painting technique used is ‘en plein air’, French for in plain air. Artists would immerse themselves in the outdoor environments which they painted. The style infused romanticism with realist landscapes.While these paintings are beautiful and inspiring, they also convey the environmental and political questions of the time- manifest destiny, nature vs. man’s dominion, among others. Many artists of this school were heavily influenced by American transcendentalist philosophy including the writings of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman. |
