Speculative Landscapes offers the first comprehensive account of
American artists' financial involvements in and creative responses
to the nineteenth-century real estate economy. Examining the
dealings of five painters who participated actively in this
economy-Daniel Huntington, John Quidor, Eastman Johnson, Martin
Johnson Heade, and Winslow Homer-Ross Barrett argues that the
experience of property investment exposed artists to new ways of
seeing and representing land, inspiring them to develop innovative
figural, landscape, and marine paintings that radically reworked
visual conventions. This approach moved beyond just aesthetics,
however, and the book traces how artists creatively interrogated
the economic, environmental, and cultural dynamics of American real
estate capitalism. In doing so, Speculative Landscapes reveals how
the provocative experience of land investment spurred painters to
produce uniquely insightful critiques of the emerging real estate
economy, critiques that uncovered its fiscal perils and social
costs and imagined spaces outside the regime of private property.
