With a modern day sensibility, we reminder to every generation of what they are missing beyond the might instinctively assume that they set out in our technologically concrete perimeters of their cities. To all who cherish the meditative superior vehicles, guided by a large screen GPS as they traversed solace found hiking in the woods, the tranquility of a mountain lake, mountains and raging ravines in air-conditioned comfort, en route and the enchanting stillness of the night, their universal language to pristine lakes and glorious vistas. Instead, they walked, crawled, will forever be understood. and climbed in intense heat or severe cold, laden with supplies affixed to their backs, doing their best to circumvent varied predators. They further endured the scorn of British critics who scoffed at what they considered to be untrained American artists, labeling them Hudson River School painters, a sarcastic reference to a school that did not exist. Encouraged by the burgeoning transcendentalist ideology, advanced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, our painters heard the music of a different drummer, and their creative powers would not be diminished by the restraint of convention or adherence to academic formula. Personal I’m sure many of you have experienced the joy of living with these canvases; the simple yet nearly perfect pleasure of listening to quiet music while sipping a favorite wine, surrounded by your chosen paintings. If you ever need irrefutable proof of their absolute value, remove them for a few days. No matter how grand your home, it will feel empty and a melancholy will take hold of your spirit because a part of yourself is missing.

Understanding the spiritual and emotional inspiration to be drawn from a landscape, Gifford depicted brilliant vistas marked by an aerial luminism that transformed his paintings from landscapes into poetic masterpieces. Born in the heart of the Hudson River Valley, Gifford had a special affinity for the region, which proved to be one of his favorite subjects. Over the course of his career he traveled extensively throughout the Catskills, Adirondacks, and White Mountains, and the natural beauty he observed during these journeys became an endless source of inspiration for his paintings. Upon his death in 1880, The Metropolitan Museum of Art held a special retrospective of his work to commemorate his career. selected exhibitions National Academy of Design, 1847–68, 1870, 1872–74, 1876–80 Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1856 Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1867 The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1874, 1880 Centennial Loan Exhibition, Hartford, 1875 selected collections Brooklyn Museum, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
