Notes |
Notes from The White House Historical Association: "Durand . . . had been notified by a letter of February 26, 1847, that the American Art-Union wished to commission him 'to paint for the institution . . . a landscape . . . . The subject and size to be left to your own choice.' . . . "Durand seized the opportunity . . . . "The Indian, his arms raised to the sun in praise, is bathed in a yellow- and pink-hued light. He is further emphasized by the brilliant path of the sun's reflections on one of those 'lakes embosomed in ancient forests' that Durand praised as original features of the American landscape . . . . ". . . The central stand mediates between the fallen trees, tangled growth, and misty hills on the left and, on the right, the blossoming plants and the young trees on the shore of the unspoiled lake. At its base, like a cenotaph, is a blasted tree trunk. . . . Durand has summoned virgin forests, vast waters, insubstantial mists, man in his natural state, and the sun's unifying eye to evoke the ancient roots and yearnings of mankind." |
