This is a new release of the original 1949 edition.

Thomas Cole's influence after his death, through both the finished and unfinished paintings that remained in his self-designed studio, was truly profound. This book brings new understanding to Cole's last paintings and how they affected later artists. Written by one of the foremost American art historians, it examines the artist's ambition to create paintings that expressed complex and elevated meanings. Images of works not seen for many years will illustrate Cole's intentions and influence.
