The Oxbow (View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm), 1836, oil on canvas Thomas Cole (1801-1848) was one of the first great professional landscape painters in the United States. Cole emigrated from England at age 17 and by 1820 was working as an itinerant portrait painter. With the help of a patron, he traveled to Europe between 1829 and 1832, and upon his return to the United States he settled in New York and became a successful landscape painter. He frequently worked from observation when making sketches for his paintings. In fact, his self-portrait is tucked into the foreground of The Oxbow, where he stands turning back to look at us while pausing from his work. He is executing an oil sketch on a portable easel, but like most landscape painters of his generation, he produced his large finished works in the studio during the winter months. Cole painted this work in the mid- 1830s for exhibition at the National Academy of Design in New York. He considered it one of his “view” paintings because it represents a specific place and time. Although most of his other view paintings were small, this one is monumentally large, probably because it was created for exhibition at the National Academy.

  • Multiculturalism and Transcendentalism
    Acad. Quest. (2019) 32:515–520 DOI 10.1007/s12129-019-09835-z DISTINCTIONS Multiculturalism and Transcendentalism Arthur Versluis Published online: 8 November 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 American Transcendentalism, a signature American movement of the nineteenth century, might superficially seem to be an early form of late-twentieth and twenty-first-century multiculturalism. As I demonstrated in American Transcendentalism and Asian Religions (1993), the main figures in the movement, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, were among the first to draw on a newly global perspective on world religions. Emerson’s and Thoreau’s works are peppered with references to Hinduism, as well as Islam, Christianity, and Christian and Islamic mysticism. One could argue that the Transcendentalists were the first multiculturalists. But in the contemporary university curriculum, the Transcendentalists are, like Platonists, seldom found. That’s because the Transcendentalists were not today’s multiculturalists. They were introducing instead a multitude of complex and salient religious philosophies they believed could be adapted to American life. In this sense, Emerson, Thoreau, and the others in their circle, as well as of those in what I term the “second cycle of Transcendentalism,” were the true multiculturalists, insisting that the sublime insights of the world’s great religions were available to all, that no man was locked inside a philosophical prison by a set of predetermined traits. For the Transcendentalists, the Vedas or other religious texts represented cultural knowledge that can be applied to one’s own life, “appropriated” for the purposes of human enrichment and civilizational advance.

Contents Introduction 1 Abysm 5 Tree 15 Bibliography 29 Artificial Infinity From Caspar David Friedrich to Notch Introduction The idea of a hypothetical continuity and the survival of ro- mantic landscape in the context of a few video games primar- ily originates from how the videogame creators conceive and express Nature from a profoundly personal point of view. As a result, the demonstration of the possible coincidences and analogies between Caspar David Friedrich’s painting and the representation of Nature in Minecra has become such a fasci- nating issue which is impossible to ignore. When I was giving shape to the concept, the reading of the essays Robert Rosenblum dedicated to the validity of roman- ticism in the works of those artists on the periphery of modern art such as Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko, helped me pinpoint some common refer- ences to those painters who share a romantic attraction to a Nature alienated from mankind.

  • Romanticism.Pdf
    Romanticism 1 Romanticism Caspar David Friedrich, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, 1818 Eugène Delacroix, Death of Sardanapalus, 1827, taking its Orientalist subject from a play by Lord Byron Romanticism 2 Philipp Otto Runge, The Morning, 1808 Romanticism (also the Romantic era or the Romantic period) was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. Partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution,[1] it was also a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.[] It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography,[2] education[3] and the natural sciences.[4] Its effect on politics was considerable and complex; while for much of the peak Romantic period it was associated with liberalism and radicalism, in the long term its effect on the growth of nationalism was probably more significant. The movement validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe—especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories. It elevated folk art and ancient custom to something noble, made spontaneity a desirable characteristic (as in the musical impromptu), and argued for a "natural" epistemology of human activities as conditioned by nature in the form of language and customary usage.

  • 'Thomas Cole's Refrain: the Paintings of Catskill Creek'
    ______________________________________________________________________________ ART REVIEW ‘Thomas Cole’s Refrain: The Paintings of Catskill Creek’ Review: Elegies for an Imperiled Landscape An exhibition of the English-born painter’s lesser-known Hudson Valley scenes evinces his love for natural beauty and sorrow over its devastation. Thomas Cole's ‘View Near Catskill’ (1828-29) Photo: Thomas Cole/Thomas Cole Historic Site By Barrymore Laurence Scherer Aug. 10, 2019 7:00 am ET Catskill, N.Y. Although the English-born painter Thomas Cole (1801-1848) is widely regarded as the progenitor of the Hudson River School of American landscape painting, his best-known works often depict imaginary scenes. For example, in his pentalogy “The Course of Empire” (1833-36, at the New-York Historical Society) the same invented landscape forms the constant background in each of the cautionary tableaux narrating the rise and decline of an ancient allegorical civilization. Moreover, though Cole traveled throughout the Hudson Valley, eventually settling in the town of Catskill, N.Y., in 1836, he rarely painted the Hudson River itself. And he rarely revisited a scene on canvas. Nevertheless, from 1827 to 1845, Cole painted a succession of works depicting Catskill Creek, a tributary of the Hudson. These particular canvasses seem not to have been examined as an integral series until H. Daniel Peck, emeritus English professor at Vassar College, began to study them as such in 2007. His research yielded the book “Thomas Cole’s Refrain: The Paintings of Catskill Creek” (published this year) and inspired the current eponymous exhibition at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. (The show runs here through Nov.
