Triad Arts with David Ford Reynolda House Museum of American Art presents A Genius for PLace: American Landscapes of the Country Place EraMay 8, 2012A Genius for Place: American Landscapes of the Country Place Era is the current exhibit going on at Reynolda House Museum of American Art where it will remain through August 5. American landscape design was shaped early on in the 19th century by Jackson Downing and Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted's last great project was the laying out of George Vanderbilt's 120,000 acre Biltmore Estate near Asheville.
A Genius for Place is also the title of a new book by Library of American Landscape History director Robin Karson. On Tuesday, May 15 at 5:30, she’ll present an illustrated talk about several artistically expressive landscapes from this period. The talk will take place in the Mary and Charlie Babcock Wing of Reynolda. A Genius for Place: American Landscapes of the Country Place Era is published by University of Massachusetts Press. The book will be available for purchase, and author Robin Karson will be available to autograph copies as well.
Last week, she spoke with David by phone from her office in Amherst, Massachusetts.
