Art History: American Landscape Painting

This course will take place on Tuesdays, April 28, May 5, 12 and 19, 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Mercer Public Library, with David Barnhill.
“Art History: American Landscape Painting” will introduce students to the rich tradition of landscape art in the United States. Students will become familiar with the compelling representations of nature and the complex development of American landscape painting. The result will be a deeper understanding
and appreciation of our country’s impressive nature art.
There will be four sessions, each two hours long:
- European landscape painting and the beginnings of American landscape painting.
- Frederic Church and Albert Bierstadt.
- Thomas Moran and George Inness.
- American Impressionism, & Georgia O’Keeffe.
Requirements: The only requirement is an interest in art. There will be no homework. Handouts will be provided, which will include sources for students to further explore the subject.
This class is limited to 12 students.
