3 Painting a Nation Hudson River School Landscapes from the Higdon Collection October 15, 2017 through January 7, 2018 atives of New York, Ann and Lee Higdon Ndeveloped an interest in art during their teenage years. They often visited museums and found themselves drawn to paintings of the Hudson River School. After marrying and purchasing a nineteenth-century home overlooking the Hudson River, they began to collect paintings of the Hudson River School in the 1980s. For nearly forty years, their interest in this artistic period has endured, resulting in the collection of works on view in this exhibition. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, American artists looked to Europe for both aesthetic themes and painterly methods of depicting the world around them. This began to change in the early decades of the nineteenth century as artists adapted European aesthetics to develop a distinctly American landscape narrative. The name Hudson River School, originally intended to be disparaging, was coined to identify a group of landscape artists living in New York City, several of whom built homes on the Hudson River. The term has evolved beyond regional expression and is now generally accepted to describe nineteenth century American landscape painting. Painting a Nation: Hudson River School Landscapes from the Higdon Collection features significant American artists from the Hudson River School, including Albert Bierstadt, William Bradford, Jasper Francis Cropsey, William Hart, William Trost Richards and many others. The majority of the works depict scenes of New York State and include paintings of the Hudson River, Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains region. The second generation of Hudson River School painters – many of whose works are in the Higdon Collection – extended the visual vocabulary to include subjects along the Atlantic Cathedral Rocks, A View of Yosemite, c. 1872, Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830–1902), oil on paper Coast and Far West, reflecting the expansion of mounted on canvas, 19 x 13¾ in. the United States during the mid-nineteenth century. The Higdon Collection also includes a selection of still-life paintings that complement Hudson River landscape themes by interpreting nature in an indoor setting. Together, these paintings celebrate the picturesque beauty of our nation and reflect the collective desire of the Hudson River painters to develop a uniquely American visual language, independent of European schools of painting.

on Trachte was a cartoonist who Dbecame close friends with Norman Rockwell. In 1962, Trachte bought Rockwell’s 1954 Saturday Evening Post cover painting, Breaking Home Ties, for $900 and it quickly became his most prized possession. In 2002, he loaned Breaking Home Ties to an exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum. However, experts were puzzled over discrepancies between the loaned painting and the printed Saturday Evening Post cover. In 2005, a year after Don’s death, the Trachte family made a surprising discovery – a false wall was exposed in Trachte’s studio concealing Rockwell’s original painting along with seven other paintings by artists including Gene Pelham, Mead Schaeffer, Virginia Webb and George Hughes.
