About This Item
New York: National Academy of Design, 2003. Hardcover. VG/VG (light wear to boards; light rubbing to corners & spine edges. dustjacket has light scuffs, scratches; edge-wear). Pale blue cloth, pictorial DJ. 174 pp. 40 color plates. A nice, bright and sharp copy. "George Inness and the Visionary Landscape presents both a concise overview of Inness's life and work and a focused examination of his philosophical and religious preoccupations. It shows how Inness, inspired by the ideas of the scientist-mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688- 1772), devised a new artistic vocabulary to convey his understanding of the personal visionary experience. Moreover, it reveals commonalities between Inness's prescient work and efforts by the psychologist- philosopher William James (1842-1910) to validate mystical states of mind. It explains for the first time how Inness treated landscape painting as a form of philosophical inquiry that could communicate his holistic belief in the unity of nature and spirit. Full-color and black-and-white reproductions throughout."--Amazon.
