Esoteric-2005

“The paramount difficulty with the artist is to bring his intellect to submit to the fact that there is such a thing as the indefinable which hides itself that we may feel after it. But God is always hidden, and beauty depends upon the unseen- the Visible upon the Invisible." -George Inness

John LaFarge -1879
“Oftentimes, it is argued that church art--specifically the stained glass windows(LaFarge’s stained glass rivaled Middle Age cathedrals)is the scripture for the illiterate. This argument is often used to justify religious art historically but doesn't hold the same force in our culture. John rejected the idea that religious art was a vain pursuit or idolatry and insisted that there was a calling and need for art within congregations--even in a mostly literate culture. Just as Jesus had been an image of the Father, there was room for art to transcend word and communicate Truth in ways that language failed. In a very real sense, Jesus' incarnation paves the way for the use of image to point toward the transcendent. It was John's passion--though not his exclusive practice--to do religious art that pointed toward a God who loved and cared for the people of the world as a father cares for his children.”

Homer Dodge Martin
“White Mountains”, 1862-1867
For Martin, landscape was not simply God’s product, but the tool he used to express emotion. Mood and coloration are primary in his works; some pervaded by serenity, others pensiveness. His beginnings as an artist are scenes of the Adirondacks and White Mountains, but his move to New York resulted in a broader style and crisper light. His best pictures were produced as he was losing his eyesight and repainting older scenes of America from memory. Like his earlier works, these were also composed without portraying any figures or animals, which would distract from the intended emotional reaction. John Dennett once remarked that “Martin’s landscapes look as if no one but God himself had seen the places.”

Elliott Daingerfield “ Genius of the Canyon”-1913

Concerned about the rampant materialism spawned by America’s rapid industrialization and booming economy, turn-of-the-century artist Elliott Daingerfield sought to create paintings that reconnected viewers to the spiritual. He believed that art could uplift the observer by providing an intense spiritual, emotional, or religious experience. He encouraged viewers to contemplate his paintings as a means of communing with the divine. Daingerfield engaged to produce paintings he felt evoked the intangible spiritual plane existing behind the surface of material things. Museum visitors will discover the mysteries of nature in his landscapes, the sacredness of Christianity in his religious pictures, and the spirit of place in his allegorical art.

'The Valley of the Shadow of Death'
George Inness 1867

Quote: In this picture I have endeavored to convey to the mind of the beholder an impression of the state into which the soul comes when it begins to advance towards a spiritual life, or toward any more perfected state in its journey, until it arrives at its sabbath rest. Here the pilgrim is leaving the natural light, whose warm rays still faintly illumine the foreground of the scene. Before him is all uncertainty. His light hereafter must be that of faith alone. This I have represented by the cross, giving it the place of the moon, which is the natural emblem of faith, reflecting light upon the sun, its source, assuring us, that although the origin of life is no longer visible, it still exists; but here, clouds may at any moment obscure even the light of faith, and the soul, left in ignorance of what may be its ultimate condition, can only lift its eyes in despair to Him who alone can save, and lead it out of the disorder and confusion. -George Inness, 1867.
