1825 -1848 · Catskills, White Mountains and American relief
Catskills, White Mountains, Schroon and Etna give Cole many faces of the mountain: refuge, passage, weather threat and memory of the Italian journey.
The mountains structured Thomas Cole's American career from his first views of the Catskills. They offer him horizons observable from the Hudson Valley, but also a terrain to reflect on the relationship between road, habitation and wild nature. The Col des Montagnes Blanches represents Crawford Notch, a passage marked by the disaster of the Willey family in 1826; path, trees and sky give the site a historical tension. The view of the two lakes and the Catskill Mountain House combines panorama, emerging tourism and human presence on the heights. The Round Top and sunrises in the Catskills study changes in light on familiar terrain. There schroon Mountain after a storm makes the atmosphere as important an event as the summit. Etna seen from Taormina finally brings the Sicilian experience and the silhouette of a volcano formerly cultivated by European painting. Cole therefore does not treat the mountain as a single national emblem: he compares threshold, habitat, travel, memory and sublime. The "Thomas Cole Mountains" selection notably compares View of the Encoche Pass of the White Mountains and The Mountain Ford. His reading favors details.
Cole's mountain is always crossed: by a road, a light, a story or the gaze which seeks to measure what goes beyond it.
