William Trost Richards Biography

American painter, engraver & printmaker
born 1833 - died 1905

Asher B. Durand (1796 - 1886) found his calling as a landscape painter in these mountains on an 1837 expedition with Cole to Schroon Lake. The rich language of Durand's "Letters on Landscape Painting," published in 1855 just as American landscape painter William Trost Richards (1833 - 1905) was planning his first Adirondack expedition, gives us insight into the powerful associations, always on the edge of transcendence, invested in landscape experience. Durand also saw the whole artistic project of American landscape painting as uniquely expressive of both national and cultural identity.

In 1904, his final return to paint these mountains, long after his reputation and market had been confirmed as a marine painter, demonstrated the powerful associations the region continued to hold for him and his generation. (Fig. 16) William Trost Richards returned to Essex County for a summer holiday at Lake Placid in the company of his artist-daughter Anna and her husband William Tenney Brewster. Father and daughter recorded their lakeside sojourn in a series of small oil paintings. The Lake Placid plein air studies of light and atmosphere, grounded in the same empirical investigation of regional topography that inform the pencil drawings from his early forays, are among the freshest and most beautiful William Trost Richards paintings of a remarkably vigorous old age.

As we see from the paintings of Cole and Durand, Adirondack subjects, enhanced by historical and literary associations, already operated as part of a national canon of American landscape images. Elizabethtown, the county seat where William Trost Richards artist was based on his visits, served as a regional crossroads during the years 1850 to 1870 for him and many other artists in search of a national landscape.

Asher B. Durand, "Letters on Landscape Painting," The Crayon, (1855). The nine articles, published between January and July, demonstrate in their earnest eloquence the highly charged state in which American scenery and landscape painting was approached by artists of Buji oil painting company, critics, and audience at mid century. There can be little doubt that William Trost Richards knew these important documents.
