Catskill Creek, New York, 1845, Thomas Cole
Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School at the New York Historical Society, opens September 15, with more than 100 famous paintings by artists of the Hudson River School, including Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, John F. Kensett, Jasper F. Cropsey and Albert Bierstadt.
I just found out about this show and I’m looking forward to it. A lot of these paintings are a bit too romantic for me, but they’re beautiful just the same, and I do enjoy looking at and studying them. I’ve been planning to start working in the Hudson Valley again later this month, and I think this show will be an inspiration.
There’s an accompanying book as well.
If this isn’t the sort of thing that floats your boat, you could try Ofer’s list of shows that will open over the next month or so. Simon Roberts, Todd Hido, Sally Mann, and Jeff Wall all look like good bets to me.
