In a feature typical of marine art from this time, the tiny sails of ships--whether illuminated or shadowed by clouds--are used as a reference to indicate distance and point toward the infinite sea. At the time of this painting Tryon was 25 years old and recently had decided to become a professional artist. He went on to a long career, albeit one quite different in pictorial style after studying in Europe.

Title A name given to the resource Moose and Black Rivers Description An account of the resource This map's full title--"Lakes and reservoirs, head waters, Moose and Black Rivers: showing present and proposed feeders to Black River Canal"--reveals the underlying interests that probably generated its creation. Even in 1862, canals still were considered important drivers of economic development and here topographic features share space with their usefulness as canal feeders.

This piece of art represents a lot of things for the Algonquin tribe.

Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>.

Although using atmospheric perspective to some extent, the hills and sky also register as a single plane differentiated by line and color. The uncanny effects of space are most clearly observed in the lake's reflections, especially the two similar trees at center: just their tips are tall enough to be seen over a hill's curvature, causing their reflection in the lake to appear as two isolated blocks of color. About the Artist: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at <a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon">Bennington Museum</a>. 2 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Mountain Torrent Description An account of the resource A cascade of water runs diagonally in Widlizka’s composition, separating two areas of trees standing on what appears to be rocky foundation. Much of the water is obscured by the trees, several of which are very dark green with some lighter shades behind them. It is hard to see what lies in the background, rendering the source of this torrent more obscure and mysterious. About the Artist: Born in Vienna, Austria, Widlizka (also Widliczka and Widlicka) studied with Joseph-Eugen Hörwarter in that city and then <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolaos_Gyzis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikolaus Gyzis</a> in Munich. He was influenced by the art circles surrounding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_von_Lenbach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Franz von Lenbach</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_von_Kaulbach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hermann von Kaulbach</a>. Returning to Vienna, Widlizka was among those artists of the so-called “Vienna Secession” who resigned from the more mainstream Association of Austrian Artists. During World War I he worked for the War Press Office, later registering the consequences of that conflict in his painting <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Widlizka#/media/File:HGM_Widlizka_Familienschicksal.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Family Fate, 1918.”</a> Widlizka immigrated to the United States in 1922 with his father and mother. He appears to have been comfortable with a range of subject matter: urban cityscapes, natural landscapes, and portraits. 7 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-24-folder-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.
