There is a show of paintings by the Hudson River School artists at Cedar Grove, the Thomas Cole Historical Site. The show is titled River Views of the Hudson River School, and celebrates the Hudson River Quadricentennial. There are fifteen paintings in the show which feature the Hudson River and its surroundings, mostly in the Catskill area where the show is taking place! The paintings are on loan from private collections and will be in the show until October 11.
I’m going to try to see this show asap….maybe even tomorrow! To read more about the show and the Thomas Cole Historic Site, click here to visit their website. There is a PDF file there that you can download with lots of information.
Hi Jamie, Thanks for sharing the show info. Boy I would love to see it! The New Britain Museum here in CT has some Hudson River School paintings on loan from the Met until 2010, and there is another big show of HRS paintings in PA also on loan from the Met & some private collections, leading some to speculate that the Met is planning a HRS show in the next year or two. That would be fabulous and definitely be worth a trip to NYC!
