5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully presented anthology of the art and the artists who pioneered the first native style of American landscape painting, May 7, 2006
Different Views In Hudson River School Painting by Judith Hansen O'Toole (Director and CEO of the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Greensburg, Pennsylvania) is an expansive and beautifully presented anthology of the art and the artists who pioneered the first native style of American landscape painting. Providing readers with an illustrative compendium of examples supported by an informative and "reader friendly" text, Different Views In Hudson River School Painting delves deep into the study of many various artists in terms of their diverse styles and productivity. A perfect edition to personal, academic, and community library Art History collections, Different Views In Hudson River School Painting is very highly recommended and informative reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to the Hudon River school paintings, December 23, 2007
By 
A.G. West (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Sometimes when looking at these landscape paintings you feel you are looking out a window or are in the landscape itself. It's beautiful to see the natural, the wilderness, especially for me (like many others) who are surrounded by machines all day long. O'Toole does fine job explaining each painting and its symbols. For example, deers are symbolic of wilderness while cows are symbolic of man's encroachment into the wild. Another example, a scene of a boat with hay being guided by a tugboat toward dark clouds (the top picture on the cover) appears to be "a metaphor for man himself being guided through the challenges of nature's perils and his persistence in working to tame them..."

I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great book!, October 27, 2007
It is both beautiful and facinating, since it compares the styles specific to most of the artists of this era. It brings together the paintings that are meant to be reviewed together and makes them that much more amazing. It is a great book for lovers of the Hudson River School.
