In 1855, Asher B. Durand, a founder of the National Academy of
Design and a leading member of the Hudson River School, wrote a
series of articles for his son's art magazine, The Crayon. The nine
articles, Letters on Landscape Painting, outlined Durand's thoughts
on learning how to paint landscapes. They are considered by many to
be the textbook for the Hudson River School. In the early 1900s,
Birge Harrison, a prominent figure in the American Tonalist
movement and a director of the landscape school of the Art Students
League, gave a series of lectures to the students at the League's
summer school in Woodstock, New York. He later compiled those
twenty-one lectures into the book, Landscape Painting. Then, as
now, the book was considered to be a standard work for students.
This volume presents Durand's and Harrison's writings together for
the first time. We will never know what each might have thought of
their words being combined in such a way, however, over the years
hundreds of budding landscape painters and professionals alike have
found value in these writings. It only seems fitting that the
textbooks of two of America's great landscape painting movements be
made available in a single work.
