PAINTING: Sublime American Landscapes, William Troost Richards
Another focused web-searching discovery: an 19th century painter that to my mind, makes the most beautiful coastline paintings I've ever seen. Technically superior mastery of luminous effects of light in air and water. And a pure vision of the iconic strife and union of ocean and land and its powerful symbolism. Lyric painted poetry.
