The Shenandoah Valley is widely renowned for its beauty and its
idyllic landscape of farms, fields, historic towns, and Civil War
battlefields. Framed to the east and west by the majestic Blue
Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the region is defined by the river
made famous in the 1882 song ""Oh, Shenandoah."" The highly
regarded painter Andrei Kushnir has spent years traveling
throughout every corner of the Shenandoah Valley, capturing its
myriad landscapes and architectural features with panache and an
extraordinary appreciation for place. The paintings collected here
highlight Kushnir's rare ability to paint any landscape before
him-pastoral or industrial, recreational or social, rural or urban,
riparian or agricultural-all the while working out in the elements,
en plein air. By organizing Kushnir's paintings along highways US
11, US 340, and VA 42, enabling travelers to follow the paintings
in geographical order, the book captures the Shenandoah Valley and
its famous river in a uniquely comprehensive and intuitive way. In
addition to the 263 plein-air paintings, Oh, Shenandoah presents
in-depth historical and curatorial essays by Warren R. Hofstra,
William M. S. Rasmussen, and Jeffrey C. Everett about the Valley
and Kushnir's significant contribution to our understanding of it,
adding a rich, textual component to complement Kushnir's artistry.
