Turner and John Constable. Cole traveled in Europe from 1829 to 1832. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThomas Cole’s Journey\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereexamines his seminal works of 1832–36—notably \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Oxbow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCourse of Empire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—as a culminating response to his experiences of British art and society and of Italian landscape painting. These, combined with Cole’s passion for the American wilderness and his horror of the industrial revolution in Britain, led him to create works that offer a distinctive, even dissident, response to the economic and political rise of the United States and the ecological changes then underway. This groundbreaking book also discusses Cole’s influence on later artists, from Frederic Edwin Church to Ed Ruscha. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e288 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopthetrustees.org\/pages\/store-faq\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-message\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn about our online store policies here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45137579966524,"sku":"1TP23001","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0296\/3105\/3884\/files\/thomascole.jpg?v=1778255057","url":"https:\/\/shopthetrustees.org\/products\/thomas-coles-journey-atlantic-crossings","provider":"The Trustees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
