This event has ended.

Over some two decades, Arthur and Eileen Newman assembled a collection of landscapes and still lifes painted between 1845 and 1880. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley region and the emotional intensity of the scenes captured by painters of the first self-consciously “American” school of art, the Newmans acquired works by artists including Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, and Martin Johnson Heade.

In 2015, Arthur and Eileen Newman generously gifted 15 magnificent Hudson River School paintings from their collection to the New-York Historical Society. These new acquisitions, shown alongside selected examples from New-York Historical’s holdings, are displayed together for the first time since they hung on the walls of the Newmans’ Manhattan home.
