A major reexamination of the father of the Hudson River School in
relation to his European roots and travels Thomas Cole (1801-1848),
arguably the greatest American landscape artist of his generation,
is presented here in a new light: as an international figure, born
in England, and in dialogue with the major landscape painters of
the age, including J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. Cole traveled
in Europe from 1829 to 1832. Thomas Cole's Journey reexamines his
seminal works of 1832-36-notably The Oxbow and Course of Empire-as
a culminating response to his experiences of British art and
society and of Italian landscape painting. These, combined with
Cole's passion for the American wilderness and his horror of the
industrial revolution in Britain, led him to create works that
offer a distinctive, even dissident, response to the economic and
political rise of the United States and the ecological changes then
underway. This groundbreaking book also discusses Cole's influence
on later artists, from Frederic Edwin Church to Ed Ruscha.
