The acclaimed American landscape painter and NAC Artist Life Member John F. Carlson advised his Woodstock students in the late 1920’s to “Know your trees……understand that they are conscious , living things, with tribulations and desires not wholly disassociated from your own. In many ways they excel man… They stand there silent and dignified , but never unfriendly.” The Permanent Collection of The National Arts Club is rich in American landscape painting of the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries. Drawing from these exceptional works, and with the participation of six contemporary guest artists, Arbor Day - A Celebration in Art will present three centuries of American landscape art. The artists included in this exhibition all have a highly personal dialogue with the environment, an ardent response to nature, and have found in the observation of trees elements of structure, invention and expression.
