All That is Glorious Around Us: Painting from the Hudson River School. John Driscoll. 1997. Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY. Harcover, 144 pp., $45, ISBN 0801434890. A fine contribution on the history of art that helps us understand how our fascination with the American landscape has grown, and how our land ethic has been shaped, thanks to paintings by such famous artists as Frederic Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, and Asher B.
Durand. Selections by lesser-known artists help to underscore how widespread the interest in landscape painting was during the heyday of the Hudson River school. Has interesting notes about the life of each artist.
