Changing cultural perceptions of nature over the last two centuries underlie the thought-provoking feature exhibition at Reynolda House this spring.
âCross Pollination,â as itâs titled, considers relationships between art and science across this broad historical span.
Employing the botanical process of cross-pollination as a metaphor, the exhibit begins with a selection of work by three American virtuoso painters of the 19th century: Thomas Cole (1801-48), Frederic Church (1826-1900) and Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904).
These artists made their reputations by creating vividly detailed landscape paintings and related works that idealized wilderness and the people who lived in its midst. All three are associated with the so-called Hudson River School, a loosely affiliated group of painters named for the river along which several of them lived in upstate New York, an area depicted in many of their paintings.

The Newark Museum is putting Thomas Cole s The Arch of Nero (1846) on the auction block at Sotheby s, carrying an estimate of $500,000-$700,000
An open letter signed by more than 50 art historians, curators and researchers was submitted today to the Newark Museum of Art protesting its plan to sell works from its collection, most prominently Thomas Cole’s 1846 painting
The Arch of Nero, organisers say.
The letter, addressed to Linda Harrison, director and chief executive of the museum, denounces the sales, known as deaccessioning, as a “senseless monetisation” of the art. Among the works being offered by the institution are examples by Albert Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, Burgoyne Diller, Thomas Eakins, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, Georgia O Keeffe, Frederic Remington and Charles Sheeler.

A group of scholars and curators is calling on The Newark Museum of Art to reconsider auctioning off a historic painting to help curb a $6 million revenue loss during the pandemic.
The 1846 “Arch of Nero” painting by Thomas Cole is slated to go to auction on May 19 and is estimated to go for $500,000 to $700,000. The museum which has been closed throughout most of the pandemic and has not yet reopened plans to auction 17 pieces, including those by Georgia O’Keeffe and Thomas Moran.
A deputy head teacher who suffered with anxiety and depression killed herself after support drifted during lockdown, an inquest has heard.
Donna Louise Gadd, who worked at Wellfield Methodist and Anglican Church School in Burnley, Lancashire, had suffered with mental health problems for a number of months before she went missing in April last year.
The 51-year-old was later found deceased in the village of Higham following a search by police officers.
An inquest held yesterday at Accrington Town Hall concluded that the mother-of-three had taken her own life following an extensive battle with anxiety and depression.
Donna s husband Richard Gadd, her brother and several other family members, were present at the hearing.
