Hello.The last time I taught a grad seminar on 19th-century American landscape painting was 2002. I am looking for reasonably priced books/ exhibition catalogues that we can use as textbooks. Those starred below seem to be out of print, at least according to UC's bookstore order form. In addition to the others (to which I add quite a few articles), what might anyone recommend for a class that is 10 weeks long?Bedell, Rebecca. The Anatomy of Nature: Geology and American Landscape Painting, 1825-1875. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2001. ISBN 0691074631
Conron, John. American Picturesque. Philadelphia: Pennsylvania State Press, 2000. ISBN 0271019204
*Ketner, Joseph D. The Emergence of the African-American Artist: Robert S. Duncanson, 1821-1872. Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1993.
Miller, Angela. The Empire of the Eye: Landscape Representation and America. Cornell: Cornell University Press, 1996. ISBN 0801483387
Novak, Barbara. Nature and Culture: American Landscape and Painting, 1825-1875. New York: Oxford University Press, 1995. ISBN 019510188X
*Truettner, William, ed. The West as America: Reinterpreting Images of the Frontier, 1820-1920. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991. F596.W493
Btw, I am going to the symposium on the subject at New Paltz soon, and look forward to recommendations from participants there, too.Many thanks,Theresa [log in to unmask]
