Tour of Thomas Cole’s Refrain: The Paintings of Catskill Creek

Join Laura Vookles, Chair of the Curatorial Department, for a tour and explore the deeper meanings of Thomas Cole’s integral Catskill Creek paintings, on loan from major museums and private collections.

Vookles will discuss Cole’s importance to the development of American landscape paintings, having laid the groundwork for many of the artists in our collection and for the Hudson River preservation movement of the twentieth century.

Thomas Cole’s Refrain: The Paintings of Catskill Creek was organized by the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in association with the Hudson River Museum.
