THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOON LANDING The moon—its face, color,
and power—threads through the tapestry of American landscape
painting, holding timeless allure for artists and beloved by
viewers of paintings everywhere. The Hudson River Museum has
organized The Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American
Art—the first major museum examination of the moon in American
visual arts from the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries for
a 2019 exhibition. This timely presentation also celebrates the
fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission when, in 1969,
American astronauts first stepped onto the surface of the moon.
From the romantic silvery moonscapes of nineteenth-century artists
to the abstractions by artists of the twentieth century who
explored the moon, the perfect orb, and tapped into its spiritual
possibilities, this celestial body, closest to Earth, remains
constant in our sky, though our relationship to it and our home
planet changes, as technology extends our reach toward space. The
Hudson River Museum, Fordham University Press, and the James A.
Michener Art Museum are joint publishers of the lavishly
illustrated catalog The Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in
American Art. In engaging essays, author Stella Paul maps the
colors of the moon; catalog co-editors Bartholomew F. Bland and
Laura Vookles explore Hudson River School and Modernist moonscapes
and their cultural resonance; and curators Melissa Martens
Yaverbaum and Ted Barrow sight the moon’s passage in art of both
the Gilded and Space ages. The exhibition and catalog have been
made possible by a generous grant by the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J.
