Picturing America: Thomas Cole and the Birth of American Art Released September 2018

by: Hudson Talbott

When Thomas Cole came to America from his land in England during the times of the Industrial Revolution he was a struggling artist. Artists found it hard to make a living during these times, but Thomas kept at it. It was a passion of his and he would never stop drawing.

The reason Thomas Cole is celebrated is because after a trip up the Hudson River her was marveled at this US strip of natural beauty. His paintings of his imagination and what he saw on this river boat brought some gorgeous landscape art. These images would go on to become a piece of conversation about efforts to conserve the natural lands and beauty in those parts of the country.

Whether you love a bit of Autobiography made for the young or love to look at art, this book has a bit of both for you. In an era of TV and Movie stars, taking time to teach your child about just one Artists is the best education you can give them.
