oh man, you guys


Landscape for me is nostalgia, nostalgia for childhood, nostalgia for this dream space that can only be made physical with paint, and nostalgia for the act of landscape painting itself. These guys know what's up.

Frederic Church
Twilight in the Wilderness, 1860

Thomas Cole
Mountain Sunrise, 1826


James McNeill Whistler
Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket 1875



William Turner
Fishermen at Sea 1796
