    COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220 www.VMFA.museum/pressroom FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 13, 2018 Asher B. Durand’s Progress, Most Valuable Gift of a Single Work of Art in VMFA’s History, Enters Museum Collection Gift marks first time the painting has been in public domain since its creation in 1853 Richmond, VA––The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts recently received the generous anonymous gift of Asher B. Durand’s painting Progress (The Advance of Civilization), which was approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees yesterday. One of the most important works of American art in private hands, this is the highest valued gift of a single work of art in VMFA’s history, and represents the first time the painting has been held outside of private collections since it was painted in 1853. Because of the extraordinary generosity of the donor, this beloved, canonical painting now enters the public domain, allowing the citizens of Virginia to be among the first to benefit from its presence in its new home at VMFA. Commissioned by the financier and industrialist Charles Gould (1811–1870), this work complements VMFA’s collection of paintings by other Hudson River School artists, including Thomas Cole, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Frederic Edwin Church, George Inness and Robert Seldon Duncanson. Only a handful of masterpieces in American art—including Thomas Cole’s The Oxbow and George Inness’s The Lackawanna Valley (which hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art respectively)—rival Progress in dramatizing the meeting of nature and civilization.

  • The Hudson River School
    Art, Artists and Nature: The Hudson River School The landscape paintings created by the 19 th century artist known as the Hudson River School celebrate the majestic beauty of the American wilderness. Students will learn about the elements of art, early 19 th century American culture, the creative process, environmental concerns and the connections to the birth of American literature. New York State Standards: Elementary, Intermediate, and Commencement The Visual Arts – Standards 1, 2, 3, 4 Social Studies – Standards 1, 3 ELA – Standards 1, 3, 4 BRIEF HISTORY By the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was no longer the vast, wild frontier it had been just one hundred years earlier. Cities and industries determined where the wilderness would remain, and a clear shift in feeling toward the American wilderness was increasingly ruled by a new found reverence and longing for the undisturbed land. At the same time, European influences - including the European Romantic Movement - continued to shape much of American thought, along with other influences that were distinctly and uniquely American. The traditions of American Indians and their relationship with nature became a recognizable part of this distinctly American Romanticism. American writers put words to this new romantic view of nature in their works, further influencing the evolution of American thought about the natural world. It found means of expression not only in literature, but in the visual arts as well. A focus on the beauty of the wilderness became the passion for many artists, the most notable came to be known as the Hudson River School Artists. The Hudson River School was a group of painters, who between 1820s and the late nineteenth century, established the first true tradition of landscape painting in the United States.

  • The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision
    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision Marie-François-Régis Gignoux (1814–1882) Mammoth Cave, Kentucky , ca. 1843 Oil on canvas Gift of an Anonymous Donor, X.21 After training at the French École des Beaux-Arts , Gignoux immigrated to the United States, where he soon established himself as a landscape specialist. He was drawn to a vast underground system of corridors and chambers in Kentucky known as Mammoth Cave. The site portrayed has been identified as the Rotunda—so named because its grand, uninterrupted interior space recalls that of the Pantheon in Rome. Gignoux created a romantic image rooted in fact and emotion. In contrast to the bright daylight glimpsed through the cavern mouth, the blazing fire impresses a hellish vision that contemporaneous viewers may have associated with the manufacture of gunpowder made from the bat guano harvested and rendered in vats in that very space since the War of 1812. William Trost Richards (1833–1905) June Woods (Germantown) , 1864 Oil on linen The Robert L. Stuart Collection, S–127 Richards followed the stylistic trajectory of the Hudson River School early in his career, except for a brief time in the early 1860s, when he altered his technique and compositional approach in response to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics of the English critic John Ruskin. Ruskin’s call for absolute fidelity to nature manifested itself in the United States in a radical 1 group of artists who formed the membership of the Association for the Advancement of Truth in Art, to which Richards was elected in 1863.

  • American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States, 1820-1880'
    H-Amstdy Veder on Wilton and Barringer, 'American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States, 1820-1880' Review published on Thursday, June 1, 2006 Andrew Wilton, Tim Barringer. American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States, 1820-1880. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2002. 256 pp. $35.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-691-11556-6. Reviewed by Robin Veder (American Studies Program and School of Humanities, Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg) Published on H-Amstdy (June, 2006) Transatlantic Perspectives on American Landscape Painting In the spring of 1980, Andrew Wilton witnessed an exhibition and catalog that resonated with a project he had authored for museum and publication release by the Yale Center for British Art later in the same year. Wilton's project, Turner and the Sublime, explored evocations of the sublime in the drawings, watercolors, and prints of nineteenth-century British painter J. M. W. Turner. The corresponding appearance of American Light: The Luminist Movement, 1850-1875 at the National Gallery "spurred" Wilton to consider its "spectacular and provocative" assembly of nineteenth-century American landscapes in the context of his own recent work (p. 9). Twenty-two years later, the Tate Britain produced Wilton's long-meditated response: a major exhibition and catalog publication, American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States, 1820-1880, co-curated and co-authored by Wilton, (since retired) Keeper and Senior Research Fellow at the Tate Britain, and Tim Barringer, Associate Professor of Art History at Yale University. The American Sublime catalog, which is the focus of this review, is appropriately lavish, including two interpretive essays, catalog entries and color reproductions for each of the ninety-nine paintings, and biographies of the ten featured artists: Asher Brown Durand, Thomas Cole, Fitz Hugh Lane, John Frederick Kensett, Martin Johnson Heade, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Frederic Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, and Thomas Moran.

  • Kindred Spirits
    Asher B. Durand • Kindred Spirits NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON On February , 848, ten days after his forty-seventh birthday, Thomas Cole— America’s first important landscape painter — died of pneumonia. At the time of his death, he was at the peak of his powers and the acknowledged leader of the loosely knit group of American landscape painters that would become known as the Hudson River School. Cole’s unexpected death was a shock to America’s artistic community. In New York he was honored with a memorial exhibition of his works and a commemorative service highlighted by a eulogy delivered by William Cullen Bryant, a successful American nature poet and one of Cole’s closest friends. Among the tributes Bryant offered, one was especially prescient: “I say within myself, this man will be reverenced in future years as a great master in art.” In appreciation of Bryant’s role in celebrating Cole’s memory and in recogni- tion of the friendship between the poet and the painter, the New York collector Jonathan Sturges commissioned Asher B. Durand to paint a work that would depict Cole and Bryant as “kindred spirits.” Durand, several years older than Cole and a successful engraver, had been inspired by Cole in the 830s to take up landscape painting and was soon a leading practitioner in his own right. Sturges’ request that the two men be shown as kindred spirits was inspired by the words of English poet John Keats, whose “Sonnet to Solitude” celebrates the ameliora- tive aspects of nature and concludes: Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind, Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d, Is my soul’s pleasure; and sure it must be Almost the highest bliss of human-kind, When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.
