Landscape painting was the first uniquely American art, beginning with the Hudson River School artists such as Thomas Cole and Fredrick Church. Explore the Luminist paintings of Martin Johnson Heade and Fitz Henry Lane reflecting the coast of New England. The landscapes of Winslow Homer, George Bellows, and Georgia O’Keeffe illustrate the expressiveness of the late 19th and 20th centuries.
