评论: One of the major 19th-century American landscape painters. During his own time his works were compared with those of Corot and Rouseau. Born on a farm near Newburgh, NY, Inness grew up in NYC and near Newark, NJ. He went abroad in 1847, 1850 and 1854; during the l860s he lived in Medfield (MA), Eagleswood (NJ), and Brooklyn (NY); spent the years 1870-74 in Italy and France; and thereafter spent most of his time in NYC and Montclair, NJ. Inness's early landscapes (1840s and 1850s) were tied to the Hudson River School style; his work after his return from France in 1855 reflects his interpretation of the Barbizon style. A spiritualist, Inness accepted the doctrines of Swedenborg and after 1878 his landscapes increasingly reflected an independent and poetic style, as he suppressed details and created dramatic tonal contrasts; his late and final work, from about 1884 on, consists of quiet, moody landscapes.
