Thomas Cole鈥檚 Studio: Memory and Inspiration
Albuquerque Museum is proud to present Thomas Cole鈥檚 Studio: Memory and Inspiration curated by Franklin Kelly, senior curator at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibition reassembles the paintings that were in Cole鈥檚 studio when he died in 1848 and explores the significance of Cole鈥檚 late work for art in America. Thomas Cole was the founder of the Hudson River School. This group of painters established an iconic style of American landscape painting.
This exhibition is presented simultaneously with three other exhibitions featuring contemporary artists that engage the natural world through diverse depictions of the landscape: Kiki Smith: From the Creek, Shi Guorui: Ab/Sense 鈥� Pre/Sense, and Nicola L贸pez and Paula Wilson: Becoming Land.
Thomas Cole was already the most famous landscape painter in the United States when he died unexpectedly at the age of 47 in February 1848. His legacy continues to influence American art to this day, and a new exhibition Thomas Cole鈥檚 Studio: Memory and Inspiration explores the creative directions of the painter鈥檚 last years, the rich and diverse group of works left in his studio at his death, and how his example so powerfully affected the evolution of art in America. The exhibition鈥檚 curator is Franklin Kelly, senior curator and Christiane Ellis Valone, curator of American Paintings at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibition was organized by the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, where it debuted April 30 to October 30, 2022 and will be on view at the Albuquerque Museum from November 19, 2022 to February 12, 2023.
