America Seen
This selection of landscapes from the Berkshire Museum’s collection represents bucolic, picturesque farmlands, great expanses of wilderness, and gritty, urban centers. Whether the scene is real or imagined, different artists from different time periods invite us to enter their worlds. Each landscape walks a different path through nature, but a human footprint, big or small, is always in the scene. America Seen highlights the Berkshire Museum’s extraordinary collection of paintings by Hudson River School and other 19th-century American artists, including Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Cole, Thomas Hill, Thomas Moran, George Inness, and Aaron Draper Shattuck. 20th- 21st-century American art includes works by Mark Milloff, Gregory Crewdson, Will Horwitt, and John Stritch. American decorative arts on view include the desk at which Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The House of the Seven Gables and an 18th-century tall case “grandfather” clock.
