Small But Sublime: Intimate Views by Durand, Bierstadt and Inness draws upon the renowned holdings of American art at the Newark Museum, identifying a superb collection of small, powerful views painted during the second half of the nineteenth century. Comprised primarily of oil paintings, but also including watercolors and two remarkable sketchbooks, this exhibition consists of compelling works by such celebrated Hudson River School artists as Albert Bierstadt and Jasper Cropsey, as well as such prominent painters of the Tonalist movement as George Inness and Ralph Blakelock. When viewed collectively, this group of pictures presents the artists’ varied approaches to landscape. Not only were these works enormously attractive to patrons, but they underscored the profound artistic and social changes in attitudes towards nature.
