The catalogue entry for Palmer\u2019s lithograph, written by Whitney Thompson, provides background information about her artistic process and places her work in historical context:<\/p>\n
It is usually claimed that Palmer worked from photographs for her knowledge of locations she was assigned to draw.\u00a0 Examination of the drawings she did preliminary to the prints and other evidence suggests that she likely boarded train or steamer to arrive at sites along the Hudson, where she sketched the scenery onsite.\u00a0 Her knowledge of the British picturesque tradition provided the scaffolding, but observed detail was necessary to give viewers a sense of the authentic.\u00a0 Whatever its precise source, Palmer indisputably discovered a formula that pleased her audience, and it has been claimed that her work decorated the homes of more average Americans than any other artist.\u00a0 It is this same connection to the ordinary — as an image maker who helped define American popular culture — that gives her prints of the Hudson River their powerful and lasting appeal (p. 10).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
