Beginning on August 28, the Hudson River Museum will open an exhibit called “Landscape Art and Virtual Travel.” Paintings of landscapes, both real and fictional, will be on display. Included in this genre are works by artists from the Hudson River School: Paintings by Thomas Cole, Asher R. Durand and Thomas Moran will be on display. Additionally, African American and Native American artists will have their works highlighted. Photographs taken by Jeremy Dennis, a Native American artist who photographed places important to the Shinnecock nation, will be on exhibit. The Hudson River Museum will also be displaying fictional landscape works by Frohawk Two Feathers and Alison Mortisugu.
In coordination with the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers Public Library has created a display of books that illuminate this subject. Below is a list of the books that have been placed on display at the Grinton I. Will Library. Feel free to come to the library to check out these books.
