Summary Of The Antebellum Period Cole

Starting off with Cole, he shows the land at it’s most natural form./ During the Antebellum period cole worked was designed to combat the industrial revolution to peser the connection between God and Mankind. Nature was the intermediated between men and God that paved the way for spiritual enhancement in the isolation of nature for personal development. For example according to Angela Miller she writes a reflection on Cole’s life on her essay. She states “ The Course of Empire vastly enlarged the expressive are intellectual content of the land scene genre. Exploring relationships between nature,history, and national identity…”(Miller,1993). Miller gives Cole overall characteristic of his art and how he uses environmentalism to implement oneness
with nature. In relation to my thesis Miller backs up Cole by recognizing the fact that he shows the evil of politics because of the hunger for money that destroys vegetation if the land which affects social behaviour of people.
