Truly all is remarkable and a wellspring of amazement and wonder. Man is so fortunate to dwell in this American Garden of Eden. —Albert Bierstadt
Albert Bierstadt was born in Germany in 1830 and grew up in America. He was a prolific artist who painted the West but who also joined a group of artists in New York, known as the Hudson River School. These artists traveled up and down the Hudson River and painted breathtaking scenes with a luminous glow. Bierstadt is often categorized as a Luminist Painter.
The first painting below, painted by one of my students, is a study of an Albert Bierstadt painting. My student wanted to do a study in the style of luminism. So, I said, "Why not do a study of Albert Bierstadt? He was one of the best." I'd say she did a masterful job!
I'm so proud of everyones work these past few weeks. It's a privilege to watch all of my students learn and grow and enjoy what they do!
