LAnD, SEA AnD Sky In THE nInETEEnTH CEnTURyAugust 27, 2011 - January 29, 2012Pavilion IIIThis installation from the permanent collection presented the dominant American styles of landscape paintingleading up to the 20th century, including the Hudson River School, Tonalism and the American BarbizonSchool. During the second half of the 1800s, the United States was rapidly changing as a result of the IndustrialRevolution and the American Civil War (1861-1865). Escaping these realities, the artists involved in these schoolsof landscape painting chose to depict an untamed and unpopulated countryside tinged with nostalgia ratherthan mechanized cityscapes with bustling crowds. Anchoring the exhibition was Alfred T. Bricher’s At the SouthHead, Grand Manan, a gift from John and Anita Schwarz. Also included were landscapes by European artistswhose styles and concerns mirrored those popular in America.TOP: Two Duke Men’s Basketball players lean in for a closer look at Adalbert Waagen’s Hunting in the Alps.
