Glorious Country: How the Artist Frederic Church Brought the World to America and America to the World by Victoria Johnson.
Church was “the emblematic artist of the middle decades of America’s nineteenth century,” according to The New Yorker.
This “lively” biography shows how he “did for America what John Constable and JMW Turner had done for Britain,” painting landscapes that defined the nation’s image of itself. Buy Glorious Country from your local bookstore.
