Friend --
The Hudson
River School of Painting influenced a unique movement in art,
literature and science in 19th century America.? Two historic
monuments in New? York State,? the home of Thomas Cole (1801-1848) in
Catskill and the Olana home of Frederic Church (1826-1900)
in Hudson, NY, are excellent introductions to the work of this
American cultural association, which was inspired by a broad range of
collaborators, from Alexander von Humboldt to James Fenimore
Cooper.
Then what happened?
Fox Green, founder of Space Commune (spacecommune.com)
and NY
Energy Alliance? will present comprehensive evidence of the modern
subversion of Thomas Cole's legacy, where his patriotic and Promethean
ethos have been twisted into support of degrowth. This subversion can
be disproved simply by assessing Thomas Cole's own paintings and
writings.
