Thomas Cole and the Birth of American Art

By Hudson Talbott
Thomas Cole crossed the ocean with a sketchbook, a dream, and a hunger for landscapes that felt new. In America, he found the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains, places so powerful that they changed the course of his art. Picturing America introduces young readers to the artist who helped create the Hudson River School, the first formal art movement born in the United States. Hudson Talbott follows Cole's life from immigrant beginnings to artistic influence, showing how paintings can shape the way people see a country. This nonfiction picture book is especially strong for readers interested in art, biography, American history, and the early idea that wild places are worth protecting.
