The Color of the Moon ― Lunar Painting in American Art
商品簡介
The moon?its face, color, and power?threads through the tapestry of American landscape painting, holding timeless allure for artists and beloved by viewers of paintings everywhere. The Hudson River Museum has organized The Color of Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art?the first major museum examination of the moon in American visual arts from the 19th through 20th centuries for a 2019 exhibition. This timely presentation also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Mission when, in 1969, American astronauts first stepped onto the surface of the moon.
From the romantic silvery moonscapes of 19th-century artists to the abstractions by artists of the 20th century who explored the moon, the perfect orb, and tapped into its spiritual possibilities, this celestial body, closest to Earth, remains constant in our sky, though our relationship to it and our home planet changes, as technology extends our reach towards space.
The Hudson River Museum, Fordham University Press, and the James A. Michener Art Museum are joint publishers of the lavishly-illustrated catalog, The Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art. In engaging essays author Stella Paul maps the colors of the moon; catalog co-editors Bartholomew F. Bland and Laura Vookles explore Hudson River School and Modernist moonscapes and their cultural resonance; and curators Melissa Martens Yaverbaum and Ted Barrow sight the moon’s passage in art of both the Gilded and the Space Ages.
The exhibition and catalog have been made possible by a generous grant by the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc.
