Title: Obscure Paintings of the Hudson River School
Product review: This book is a reprint of a 1978 exhibition catalogue of one person's private collection. There is a short (7 page) essay at the beginning which gives an overview of the Hudson River School. The rest of the book consists of illustrations of around 60 paintings, each by a different artist. Most of the artists are obscure, while the well-known painters (Bierstadt, Church, Cole) are not represented by their best works.If you want an in-depth study of the Hudson River School with illustrations of its best paintings, this is not the book for you.
