Point of View: Landscapes from the Addison Collection, an exhibition of more than a 100 paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs, offers a powerful overview of the vision of American landscape artists, from early 19th-century renderings of the American wilderness to the native brilliance of the Hudson River school, the American Romantics and Transcendentalists, American Impressionism, the more recent abstractions of Marsden Hartley and the landscapes of contemporary American Photographers.
This exhibition illustrates the changing visions of the American landscape artists through more than two centuries, and consequently, the societal needs and expectations that influenced them. But also, reflects the most important phases of American history and illustrates the environmental impact of expansion toward the “untamed” West.
