New England Landscape, No.8: Mt Monadnock, ca. 1912 - 1916 is an oil on panel done by Pennsylvanian artist Charles Demuth. It is not a large landscape, 31 X 471 cm, for such a mountainous subject but then Monadnock is small, as mountains go. Demuth used the Fauvist method to depict Monadnock, a perfect method considering his subject. Ranges of mountains line the Eastern and Western borders of New Hampshire, Monadnock stand alone in the southern portion of the state, alone and wild. Demuth divides his painting into a series of triangles, Monadnock’s triangular form is majestic in the background with light bright colors to the right and darker, storm tinted colors to the left. The shortened foreground continues with the triangular motif,

    The New England and the Southern colonial settlements were united in several areas that created the opportunity for each group of colonies to grow. However, these groups of colonies took divergent paths when it came to the founders’ motives to settle the New World, the importance of religious and social orientation, economic approaches and political developments. These different approaches were ultimately successful beyond the early founders’ expectations.

    The Chesapeake and New England regions were settled by people of English descent, but by 1700, they had become two distinctly different societies. They had evolved so differently, mainly because of the way that the settlers followed their religion, their way of conducting politics and demographics in the colonies. Even though the settlers came from the same homeland: England, each group had its own reasons for coming to the New World and different ideas planned for the colonies.

    After the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the powerful Old World scrambled to colonize it. The three major nations involved in this were Spain, France, and England. Spain took more to the south in the Central American and Mexico areas while France went north in the Canada region. The English came to America and settled in both the New England and Chesapeake area. Although the people in these regions originated from the same area, the regions as a whole evolved into different societies because of the settlers’ purpose for coming to America and the obstacles faced in both nature and with the natives.

  • Grant Wood’s "American Gothic"

    Grant Wood’s American Gothic is one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art. The painting brought Wood almost instant fame after being exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930. It is probably the most reproduced and parodied works of art, and has become a staple within American pop-culture. The portrait of what appears to be a couple, standing solemnly in front of their mid-western home seems to be a simplistic representation of rural America. As simple as it sounds, when looking deeper into this image, it reveals something much more complex.

  • How To Write A Critical Essay On Asher Brown Durand

    The only non-landscape is the group of sheep being herded, which is the same subject matter as the British counterpart. This painting clearly was done as a new frontier for the Hudson River School and Durand, and proof that the American art being produced was up to the European standards. It shows the ideals that Durand eventually encompassed and spread throughout the school. The piece was well liked by critics who admired “its ambitious scale” and “every-day character” (Glueck 3). In this way, they appreciated the new ideas that Durand brought, and enjoyed the fact that he was painting a normal scene that is regular in day to day life rather than the far fetched landscapes seen before that would never be seen by the every-day man. It is currently sitting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and is hailed nowadays as one of Durand’s best pieces, and most revolutionary. Personally, I also like this painting, as it follows many of the same traits of “Kindred Spirits”. The lighting effects as well as the color are exceptionally done, and this shows the improvement coming from painting “en plein air”. However, this piece pulls the focus much more on the landscape itself, which is different from the emphasis of the first painting, which is more on Cole due to him being the center subject matter. This piece even furthers on Constable’s painting, where the style in “The Beeches” seems much more focused on naturalism and detail, with smaller brush strokes than the latter. Personally, I find this painting less interesting than “Kindred Spirits”, due to the shift in subject matter, and the depiction of a more mundane environment, however, it still is an amazing painting showing the transition in Durand’s
