Visions in Granite

The White Mountains, nestled serenely in the middle of New Hampshire, have been inspiring visitors for hundreds of years. A favorite subject of painters from the nineteenth century and an often-revisited landmark for today's artists, the majestic beauty of the landscape is captured within the pages of Visions in Granite II. This carefully selected collection of paintings takes readers on a tour through historical and contemporary representations of the White Mountains, showcasing work by some of the most prominent landscape artists of the past two centuries. While some of today's artists choose to continue a dialogue that began with their predecessors, others push their work into new territory by incorporating the ideas of modernism and abstraction. Visions in Granite II is a tribute to a region that has arrested the imagination of many and to the artists who have captured that beauty for others to enjoy.Bergh, Peter D. is the author of 'Visions in Granite', published 2008 under ISBN 9780979201479 and ISBN 0979201470.
