Painting
Bierstadt was one of the most gifted artists to depict the stunning mountain views of the expanding frontier, far west of the Hudson River region that had inspired earlier American landscape painters. He was a member of the generation of artist-explorers who traveled with expeditions or in their footsteps and recorded the visual experience. MAG's painting quietly but masterfully convinces us of the grandeur of mountains and sky by including the tiny deer to give a sense of scale, and by suffusing the surface of the painting with a warm, glowing palette.

Painting
This brooding, moody canvas was created by one of the most haunted souls in the history of American art. Ralph Blakelock, a man diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and placed in a sanitarium for fifteen years, painted some of the most mysterious, expressive and poetic paintings in 19th century America. Indeed, his interest in and exploration of the unknown and the expressive were deeply admired by such radical 20th century abstract painters as Willem deKooning, Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline....

Painting
At a time when there was no photography, videography, or cinema, people relied on landscape paintings to be their windows onto the world beyond their immediate horizons.
Thomas Chambers capitalized on people's interest in the American landscape. He is noted for his many picturesque views of early 19th-century America, including this one of the United States Military Academy at West Point on the Hudson River. Chambers worked from personal observation, but also consulted many British and American prints for his paintings.
You should not be surprised if you visit other museums and see a painting similar to this one. At least six other views of West Point were painted by Chambers.

Drawing
Painter William Merritt Chase and his family summered in a home built for them by the distinguished architect Stanford White in Shinnecock Hills. In that small community near Southampton, Long Island, Chase had established a summer school of art. Hundreds of students convened in the region from 1891 - 1902, dotting the landscape with their easels as they attempted to capture on canvas the truth of nature en plein air ("in the open air").
Typical of this period are the artist's paintings and drawings of his three young daughters exploring the landscape near their vacation retreat. High-keyed summery colors and rapid Impressionistic strokes convey the brilliance of the sky, the wildflowers and the ocean.

Like many artists, Thomas Cole traveled extensively, sketching views that he would later include in finished (and much larger) paintings. On a trip to the Upstate New York region, he sketched Deh-ga-ya-soh Creek at what is now Letchworth State Park in Mount Morris. Later that year, he used the sketch to create this study, which ultimately became the subject of the 'Genesee Scenery' (1847, 51 x 39 1/2 inches, owned by the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design).

Painting
Asher B. Durand was commissioned to paint this magnificent vista overlooking the Genesee River Valley in Geneseo, New York, by a member of the Wadsworth family, the village founders. At one time, they owned all the land from Geneseo to Rochester.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
No matter what the weather, this view across the Genesee Valley near Geneseo is as breathtaking now as it was over two hundred years ago, when landowner James S. Wadsworth commissioned Hudson River school founder Asher B. Durand to record the beauty of the landscape in a painting. In the summer of 1859, Durand traveled from New York City to the Genesee Valley to make preparatory sketches. Trained as an engraver, he recorded many of the details that he saw, but in addition, his personal belief in the immanence of the divine in the natural world motivated him to present a landscape that seems to extend infinitely.
Statuesque oak trees, many of which are still standing on the land, dominate the painting. In this region, the trees were more than a decorative feature. When the Wadsworths began to sell and lease land to local farmers, they included a clause in the contract requiring that a number of trees remain after the land was cleared. This was a holdover from British husbandry; the result was a countryside that was not only beautiful but that provided sun and moisture control for humans and animals alike. Genesee Oaks was Durand's tribute to the splendor of this valley.
[Gallery label text]
Durand visited the Genesee country but once, sketching in the Geneseo area during late June and July of 1859. Of his trip he wrote to his son in August: "With all my troubles I believe I have learnt more about the management of colors in the painting of trees than by all my previous practice, altho' I have never produced so little in the same span of time, not having made but four studies in five weeks."
During the following year, back in his studio, Durand painted Genesee Oaks, based on the sketches he had made. The painting was commissioned by James Samuel Wadsworth, a local squire, who owned the work when it was exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1861. Seven oil studies done near Geneseo in 1859 are photographed in Durand's studio after 1878. A photograph shows three small sculptures of cows, two standing, one reclining that may have served as models for the animals in the painting.

For George Inness, an adherent of the mystical Swedenborgian faith, landscape elements and colors had specific symbolic qualities. For example, he wrote that the moon is a ‘natural emblem of faith,’ reassuring the faithful that divine light still exists even though it is not directly visible in the night sky. In Inness’s philosophical system, blue is the color of faith.

Painting
This pastoral scene shows cows wading at a bend in the Genesee River while their herder lounges on the ground at the left. It was painted by David Johnson, an artist from New York City who specialized in Genesee landscapes in the mid-19th century, a time when few artists were making the journey upstate.
The name Genesee originates with the Seneca people, meaning “beautiful or pleasant valley.” The rich soil of the valley and the abundance of the river has made this region a desirable location to live for centuries. This painting was made almost 100 years after the Canandaigua Treaty of 1794, in which the United States of America established the Seneca Nation’s land rights for Western New York with the Genesee River as the eastern boundary, Lake Ontario as the northern boundary, and Niagara River as the western boundary. Many subsequent violations and treaties slowly encroached upon these rights; today only three tracts of land are left to the Seneca in the region, including the Cattaraugus Reservation.

Painting
While we may not know who painted this work, we can trace its inspiration. In 1851 Jasper Cropsey's painting American Harvesting was in the American Art-Union's annual exhibition in New York. The American Art-Union, formed in 1844, promoted American artists by purchasing and exhibiting their works. To familiarize more Americans with these artists, engravings were made and distributed to members. Possibly, one of these engravings was owned by the artist who did the Gallery's painting. Several other versions of this work exist and were most likely inspired by the same print. A version of the this image was printed by Currier & Ives, entitled 'A Summer Landscape: Haymaking."
Cropsey's painting is currently in the collection of the <a href="http://www.artmuseum.iu.edu">Indiana University Art Museum</a>.

Painting
Wiles, an artist from Perry, New York, offers two views of the rolling valleys of the Genesee. Both feature people who seem to be admiring the landscape, as we are invited to do: two women have laid down a rug or blanket on which to picnic, looking out over the rooftops of a barn and other outbuildings; a boy gazes out over the valley while his cows graze nearby. Atmospheric perspective renders the far hills a misty mirage. The artist wrote “Endeavor, as far as possible, to carry the eye beyond the canvas into the subject or scene depicted. Anything short of this detracts from your effort as a work of art. The master conceals his art and fascinates you in the spirit of his work. Therefore, consider your pigments your servants, not your masters. Study good pictures much, but study nature more.”

Painting
Wiles, an artist from Perry, New York, offers two views of the rolling valleys of the Genesee. Both feature people who seem to be admiring the landscape, as we are invited to do: two women have laid down a rug or blanket on which to picnic, looking out over the rooftops of a barn and other outbuildings; a boy gazes out over the valley while his cows graze nearby. Atmospheric perspective renders the far hills a misty mirage. The artist wrote “Endeavor, as far as possible, to carry the eye beyond the canvas into the subject or scene depicted. Anything short of this detracts from your effort as a work of art. The master conceals his art and fascinates you in the spirit of his work. Therefore, consider your pigments your servants, not your masters. Study good pictures much, but study nature more.”
