Landscape painting was the first uniquely American art, beginning with the Hudson River School artists such as Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, and John Kensett. We’ll also explore the Luminist paintings of Martin Johnson Heade and Fitz Henry Lane, reflecting the coast of New England. The landscapes of Winslow Homer, George Bellows, and Georgia O’Keeffe will illustrate the expressiveness of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Wyeth family painted landscapes throughout the 20th century.

Led by Martha Chiarchiaro, owner of Seeing History, who has brought history to life through the art of the times for more than 30 years. She received her Masters’ degree in the History of Art from Williams College and provides a variety of art history presentations at the Worcester Art Museum, the Worcester Institute for Senior Education (WISE), libraries, senior centers, and a variety of garden clubs.
