Tourism and the American Landscape
In the late 19th century, influential artists traveled extensively in the U.S. painting picturesque landscapes. The paintings -- along with guidebooks, travel-related photographs and novels -- prompted a new and burgeoning tourist industry. Many of these works are collected in the exhibition "Frederic Church, Winslow Homer, and Thomas Moran: Tourism and the American Landscape" at Stanford's Cantor Arts Center.
