   Extractions: Asher Durand spent the first two decades of his working life as an engraver. During the he turned to painting portraits, and then, encouraged by Thomas Cole, to landscapes. By the Durand was concentrating on landscapes exclusively. Working in New York City, he became a close colleague of Cole, and served as president of the National Academy of Design. He regularly ventured into remote areas of the Catskill, Adirondack, and White Mountains to make sketches, which he used in the landscapes composed in his studio during the winter. These works evolved from staged, largely imagined idylls to ennobled portraits of specific places, compelling in breadth and detail, showing greater focus on literal transcription of nature and less reliance on conventional formula. Durand enjoyed a productive painting career that lasted through the Although he enjoyed the respect of his fellow artists, his later years were described by his son as clouded by the American public's declining appreciation for native artists and subjects in favor of those from abroad.1 During a tribute staged by his friends in the painter John F. Weir said of him, "I think we do too little ... to show our respect for the pioneers of our pathways which have now become highways."

   Extractions: A sher Brown Durand was born in Jefferson Village (now Maplewood), New Jersey, the eighth of eleven children. His frail health exempted him from working on the family farm; instead, he helped his father, a watchmaker and silversmith. Following an apprenticeship to engraver Peter Maverick from 1812 to 1817, Durand entered into full partnership with Maverick and ran the New York branch of the Newark-based firm. The partnership dissolved in 1820 in a dispute concerning Durand's acceptance of John Trumbull's commission to engrave The Declaration of Independence , which Durand had apparently taken on without deferring to Maverick's position as senior partner. (Maverick, who interpreted the act as a violation of their partnership agreement, heatedly accused Durand of trying to sabotage his career.) The completion of the work in 1823 established Durand's reputation as one of the country's finest engravers. An active member of the New York art community, Durand was instrumental in organizing the New-York Drawing Association in 1825 (later the National Academy of Design, which he served as president from 1845 to 1861) and the Sketch Club in 1829 (later the Century Association). During the late 1820s and early 1830s, when his interest gradually shifted from engraving to oil painting, he demonstrated a growing competence in portraiture and genre subjects. With the encouragement of his friend and patron Luman Reed, Durand ended his engraving career in 1835.

   Extractions: Asher Brown Durand Landscape 1866 Oil on canvas, 15 1/4 x 25 in. University purchase Asher B. Durand began his profession successfully as an engraver before turning to portrait and genre painting in the 1830s. By the end of the decade, partially due to his friendship with Thomas Cole (1801-1848), he devoted himself to the eastern landscape. Along with Cole, Durand is credited with the founding of the Hudson River School. When Cole died in 1848, Durand became the acknowledged leader of that American school of landscape painting. Although derivative of certain European romantic landscape traditions, the Hudson River School is generally touted as the first American school of painting with its specific concentration on American scenery. This untitled landscape reveals Durand's debt to the French artist Claude Lorrain (1600-1682) in its concentration of trees to one side that then give way to a logical spatial recession. Also Claudian is the broad sky infused with a golden light that glows through the atmosphere. Yet Durand's feeling that Claude could be surpassed, coupled with an admiration for both Dutch landscape painting and the English landscapist John Constable (1776-1837), led him on a search for unpretentious naturalism. This painting exemplifies the lake and mountain scenery that appeared in his work during summer visits to Lake George, New York, between 1862 and 1878. Although Durand did not share Cole's penchant for drama and allegory, he did share his view of landscape painting as a moral enterprise. He held an Emersonian belief that nature was a manifestation of God; thus to contemplate or paint nature brought man closer to the divine and could inspire one to lead a moral life. In reference to the Great Designer, Durand wrote: "To the beautiful order of his works learn to conform the order of our lives."
