Green woods & crystal waters
the American landscape tradition
by Arthur, John
"Green Woods and Crystal Waters examines American landscape painting in the second half of the twentieth century through the works of 89 artists. Keeping the city at a safe distance, it focuses on the pastoral views and dramatic wilderness that have provided such a powerful American subject over two centuries.
Formally and expressively diverse, the works range from the objective depiction of the physical appearance of nature to the romantic or mystical use of landscape as a vehicle for poetic and spiritual concerns to the expressionist's reshaping of nature to follow the curvature of interior moods." "Includes 100 color illustrations, checklist of the exhibition, bibliography, and index of artists."--BOOK JACKET.
