At Home and Abroad: The
Transcendental Landscapes of Christopher Pearse Cranch
October 12, 2007 - February 25,
2008
Lyman Allyn Art Museum
is presenting the exhibition, At Home and Abroad: The Transcendental
Landscapes of Christopher Pearse Cranch. The
exhibition
opened at Lyman Allyn Art Museum on October 12, 2007 and runs through February
25, 2008. The show then travels to the Newington-Cropsey Foundation in Hastings-on-Hudson,
New York, where it will be on view March 17 through May 31, 2008.

Despite a fifty-year career as a landscape painter, Christopher
Cranch's paintings are little known. Instead, he is best known for his poetry,
his ties to the New England Transcendentalists, and, above all, his playful
caricature of Ralph Waldo Emerson as an enormous "transparent"
eyeball, perched atop a minuscule body in top hat and tails, optic nerve
tied in a pony tail. From his first reading of Emerson's Nature essay (1836),
Cranch was inspired to explore Transcendental concepts through visual means;
although ultimately it was painting, not caricature, that provided the ideal
vehicle for him. Transcribing nature onto canvas became an act of devotion.
Like Thoreau
writing of the daily
trials of life on Walden Pond, Cranch also attempted, in his landscapes,
to express the correspondence between nature and spiritual concepts. His
brand of Transcendentalism bypasses the quiet, "transparent" aspect
to celebrate a nature that is filled with the flux and continual shifting
that Emerson and Thoreau also celebrated in their writings. C. P. Cranch
was intimate with some of the most innovative thinkers in America and counted
among his friends Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George William Curtis,
and James Russell Lowell. This study considers Cranch not only as a Hudson
River School artist, but also as a participant in the history of ideas,
a multi-faceted individual who merged intellectual and artistic life.

At Home and Abroad: The Transcendental Landscapes of
Christopher Pearse Cranch is part of the ongoing
celebration during 2007 marking the museum's 75th anniversary. Thanks to
the generosity of benefactor Harriet Upson Allyn, Lyman Allyn Art Museum
opened in 1932 as a place for local citizens to learn about art and culture.
The museum has always made part of its mission to respond and to appeal
to the regional community.
In that spirit, Lyman Allyn Art Museum has planned an exciting
schedule of programs to accompany the exhibition. The programs are designed
to appeal to and to engage people of all ages and to make the humanities
themes of the exhibition easily accessible.
Exhibition catalogue
The exhibition is accompanied by a 208-page exhibition
catalogue; At Home and Abroad: The Transcendental Landscapes of Christopher
Pearse Cranch (1813 - 1892). The Foreword is written by Barbara Novak,
Professor Emerita at Columbia University, one of the most influential theorists
on American art. Nancy Stula, Curator and Deputy Director of the Lyman Allyn
Art Museum, and David M. Robinson, Distinguished Professor of American Literature
at Oregon State University authored the catalogue essays.

Hudson River and its Painters, The
is a 57 minute 1988 video from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Series
released by Home Vision Entertainment. The
mid-nineteenth
century saw the growth of America's first native school of landscape painters,
artists inspired by the compelling beauty of the Hudson River Valley, who
portrayed this and other romantic wilderness areas with an almost mystical
reverence. This 57 minute video explores the life and work of the major
artists of what came to be known as the Hudson River School -- Thomas Cole,
Asher Durand, Frederic Church, Albert Bierstadt, John Kensett, Jasper Cropsey,
Worthington Whittredge, Sanford Gifford, and George Inness. Although its
members traveled widely, the growth and development of the school were centered
around New York City, and its success reflected the ambitions of the youthful
American nation. It presents more than 200 paintings, prints and photographs
of the period and juxtaposes them with dramatic location photography of
the Hudson River area. The Hudson Company in association with The Metropolitan
Museum of Art. Hudson River and its Painters, The is available through
the Sullivan
Video Library at The Speed Art Museum which holds a sizable collection
of art-related videos available to educators at no charge.
