Luminist Horizons: The Art and Collection of James A. Suydam

by Katherine E. Manthorne

Luminist Horizons celebrates the art and collection of James A. Suydam (1819-1865), an American landscapist best known for his luminist paintings. Despite the fact that his name has been linked with luminism since the term was first coined, Suydam has not received the scholarly attention he deserves. With approximately 180 reproductions (eighty in color), this book considers Suydam's work in tandem with that of fellow Hudson River School artists...

LUMINIST HORIZONS: THE ART AND COLLECTION OF JAMES A. SUYDAM offers a catalog and history of the works of an American landscapist known for his luminist paintings. Even though his name has been long linked with the movement, his works have, surprisingly, not received extensive scholarly attention until now: LUMINIST HORIZONS not only packs in 200 reproductions, but contrasts his works with contemporaries and surveys American landscape painting of the times.
