Items related to Drawn to Yellowstone: Artists in America's First...
Old Faithful geyser, Emerald Spring, the magnificent canyons and falls of the Yellowstone River: these and other sites, familiar to millions of visitors who travel through Yellowstone National Park each year, have been an inspiration to generations of artists. Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, Frederic Remington, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and dozens of other artists braved difficult conditions to capture the splendors of Yellowstone in many media, from delicate watercolors and pen-and-ink sketches to powerful oils and popular lithographs.
From the moment of its inception in 1872, Yellowstone was simultaneously an aesthetic experience and a potent force in America?s search for national identity. By the 1890s, it was known as ?the Nation?s Art Gallery.? It was from Yellowstone that an artistic energy flowed, like the waters that pulse from its geysers, to captivate a nation and contribute to its philosophical and aesthetic history. In Drawn to Yellowstone, Peter Hassrick traces the artistic history of the park from its earliest explorers to the present day.

About the Author:
Review:
Peter H. Hassrick is director emeritus and senior scholar at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. His career in Western art history and museum work led to important roles at several museums and universities, including the Amon Carter Museum, Denver Art Museum, Georgia O?Keefe Museum, University of Oklahoma, and the University of Denver.
Landscapist Thomas Moran?s 1872 majestic canvas of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, as much as the photographs of W. H. Jackson, made Yellowstone National Park a must-see destination, and a lure as well to the many artists who followed Moran. . . . The national affection for Yellowstone will only be deepened by this appealing album.
