Nature and the American Vision
March 9, 2016
| Nature and the American Vision is a landmark exhibition featuring nearly fifty masterpieces from the New-York Historical Society's acclaimed collection of landscape paintings, the most revered in the country. In addition to the beauty and historic value of the paintings, the exhibition charts the emergence of the Hudson River School, considered the nation’s first original artistic movement, and includes iconic works by luminaries alongside rarely seen masterpieces. Rising to eminence during the mid-nineteenth century, this loosely knit group of painters, poets, and writers forged a self-consciously American artistic voice, one grounded in the exploration of the natural world as a resource for spiritual renewal and as an expression of cultural and national identity. | |
| The exhibition runs from February 26 - May 8, 2016 and is being held at Milwaukee Art Museum - 700 N Art Museum Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53202. To learn more about this and other events, please click here. |  |
