American Paradise: The World of the Hudson River School

American Paradise: The World of the Hudson River School
Metropolitan Museum of Art/H.N.Abrams | 1987 | ISBN: 0870994972/0810911655 | English | PDF | 360 pages | 60.5 Mb

The excellent catalog of the exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum. The well-written essays, by Met curators, chart the 19th-century rise and fall of the first native school of landscape painting. The catalog includes most of the well-known and many lesser-known Hudson River pictures, discussed in depth for both specialists and generalists. The book is well-organized and well-indexed, and, while not breaking great new ground, is highly recommended. The plates are generally good.
