520    A reconsideration of Church's works offering a sustained

520    "Frederic Church (1826-1900), the most celebrated painter 
       in the United States during the mid-19th century, created 
       monumental landscapes of North and South America, the 
       Arctic, and the Middle East. These paintings were 
       unsurpassed in their attention to detail, yet the 
       significance of this pictorial approach has remained 
       largely unexplored. In this important reconsideration of 
       Church's works, Jennifer Raab offers the first sustained 
       examination of the aesthetics of detail that fundamentally
       shaped 19th-century American landscape painting. Moving 
       between historical context and close readings of famous 
       canvases--including Niagara, The Heart of the Andes, and 
       The Icebergs--Raab argues that Church's art challenged an 
       earlier model of painting based on symbolic unity, 
       revealing a representation of nature with surprising 
       connections to scientific discourses of the time. The book
       traces Church's movement away from working in oil on 
       canvas to shaping the physical landscape of Olana, his 
       self-designed estate on the Hudson River, a move that 
       allowed the artist to rethink scale and process while also
       engaging with pressing ecological questions. Beautifully 
       illustrated with dramatic spreads and striking details of 
       Church's works, Frederic Church: The Art and Science of 
       Detail offers a profoundly new understanding of this 
       canonical artist."--|cPublisher's website.
