BCHS Lecture Program: Artists in the Ramapo Mountains October 21, 2010

The scenic beauty of the Ramapo Mountains have attracted many artists, particularly during the 19th century when Hudson River steamboats and the Erie Railroad provided easy access. Hudson River school Artists Jasper Cropsey, David Johnson, John Kensett and others produced magnificent paintings and engravings. In the 20th century the Ramapo Mountains were depicted by Man Ray and John Marin. See a visual survey of over a hundred works of art with remarks by Geoff Welch, Curator of Harmony Hall in Sloatsburg, N.Y. and the Ramapo River Watershed Keeper.
