Art Exhibit: “Re/Framing The View: Nineteenth-century American Landscapes”

Drawn from six private collections, the New Bedford Whaling Museum collection, and six strategic institutional loans, Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth-century American Landscapes includes works by William Bradford, John F. Kensett, Martin Johnson Heade, Frederic Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, Jasper Francis Cropsey, George Inness, Francis A. Silva, and Sanford Robinson Gifford, among many others.

The exhibition promises to be an exciting and timely invitation to view paintings held in private hands and usually hung behind closed doors – and explore the many meanings of the American landscape, both historically to nineteenth-century viewers and today for twenty-first century audiences.

Art Work: Régis François Gignoux (French/American, 1816-1882), On the Upper Hudson, 1862. Oil on canvas. Douglas and Cynthia Crocker Collection.
