   Extractions: Jasper Francis Cropsey Student Activity Jasper Francis Cropsey was born on February 18, 1823,on his father’s farm in Rossville, NY, on Staten Island. He was the oldest of Jasper Cropsey’s eight children. At the age of 14 he won an award for a model house that he had built. He began his career as an architect, but began his career as an architect, but began painting shortly after. In 1842 Cropsey had begun to do landscape studies from nature. A two-week trip to New Jersey produced two different paintings of Greenwood. While in Greenwood, Jasper met Maria Cooley, and they were married in May of 1947.

   http://www.projectview.org/HR/Cropsey003.htm
   
   Extractions: Dawn of Morning, LakeGeorge Jasper Frances Cropsey sketched during the summer and painted in his studio during the winter. His later work showed autumn scenes with vivid colors. When Cropsey brought his artwork to England, the British did not know about the brilliant colors of the Northeastern United States leaves. They said that Cropsey did not paint true nature. To prove the colors were real, Cropsey hung some brightly colored autumn leaves next to his paintings. This way, he was able to show the British that his vivid leaf colors were not imaginary. Look at Cropsey’s painting of Lake George. Compare it with his Autumn on the Hudson River Do you believe that Jasper F. Cropsey was showing real nature in these paintings? Why? How did Cropsey answer accusations that he was "being untrue to nature"? Do you think that was a good way to respond? What do you feel when you look at this painting? What part of it "catches" your eyes? Have you ever seen nature that looks like these paintings?

7. Jasper Francis Cropsey
   Jasper Francis Cropsey (18231900) American Autumn Landscape, 1875 oilon canvas E1995.090. DESCRIPTION This painting could be considered  
   http://www.wm.edu/muscarelle/factsheets/cropsey.html
   
   Extractions: This painting could be considered more impressionistic than realistic in its use of soft edges and rich color, rather than line, to define shapes. Cropsey uses short brushstrokes and splotches of paint to create the details of this rural scene. His color palette ranges from vibrant greens of the grass and reds of the foliage, to paler, pearly hues of golds and browns in the sky and trees. The painting's sun-dappled light effects create a very warm setting. A calm body of water sits in the middleground; a couple stands by the water's edge - appearing very tiny on the canvas as they lend a sense of scale to the painting. Two cattle rest under a tree, closer to the foreground. Their central location on the canvas, as well as their leading gaze invite spectators into the autumn scene. The foreground is busy with trees, foliage, and ground cover, done mostly in shades of brown, but contrasted with paler hues representing reflected light. The sky is not a single color, but a smooth gradient of whites and pale color. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Cropsey was a second generation member of the Hudson River School and a follower of Thomas Cole. As the father of the Hudson River School, Cole's artistic aims were towards an "intellectual and emotional stimulation and moral instruction," as seen through the illustration of the vast early American landscape (Talbot 14). "Nature was seen as a symbol of creation and a divine past. It was this natural past, rather than one of human history, which was thought unique to America. Even more importantly, wilderness not only implied a natural past and provided a moral lesson for the present, it also represented the undeveloped future of the nation, America's manifest destiny" (Talbot 15).

   Extractions: Biography Provenance Exhibitions Literature ... Large Image ln its glorification of the American autumn and in its overall luminist qualities, Lake Wawayanda is a quintessential example of Jasper Cropsey's mature style. The measured horizontal space, smooth facture, delicate tonalities, and cool, glowing light evoke the silence and tranquility characteristic of luminist landscapes. Lake Wawayanda ("Lake of the Winding Water") is actually part of Greenwood Lake, which straddles the New York-New Jersey border, approximately halfway between the New York cities of Hastings-on-Hudson and Port Jervis. Cropsey began his artistic association with these connected lakes in 1843, and continued to visit the area often; in 1869 he built a house and settled there until 1885. His house and its natural environs became a sustained and peaceful retreat from the market and exhibition pressures of New York City, where he spent the winters. The area held profound associations for him, and he painted Lake Greenwood/Wawayanda at least thirteen times. The sense of serenity and contentment so evident in Oberlin's Lake Wawayanda may reflect positive events occurring in Cropsey's life during 1876. Not only did he exhibit three paintings at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia that year, but he was alsoin his capacity as architectchosen to design the stairways, waiting rooms, and platforms for the Sixth Avenue Elevated in New York City.

    Extractions: Jasper Francis Cropsey Sunset, Hudson River (Near Hastings-on-Hudson), 1897 Oil on canvas, 12 x 20 in. Gift of Dr. Robert W. Metcalf Growing up in Staten Island, New York, Jasper Cropsey moved to New York City in 1837 at the age of fourteen, where he was first apprenticed to an architectural firm. Six years later he devoted himself to painting and, possibly as early as 1845, began depicting the autumn season for which he became known. In 1847 Cropsey made the obligatory tour of Europe, but it was during his second, extended trip to London in 1856 that he fully developed his autumn oeuvre. Hailed as having "no superior as a painter of autumnal scenes," Cropsey won great acclaim in England for his monumental Autumn on the Hudson River of 1860 (Metropolitan Museum of Art). It may have been his English experience that cemented the autumn motif in his work. The nature-loving English, whose autumn seasons lacked the vibrant colors found in America's deciduous trees, were fascinated with the visual delights peculiar to American autumns, where the "forest surpasses all the world in gorgeousness." The British reaction to Cropsey's brilliant hues was often one of incredulity, causing the artist to display preserved autumn leaves pasted on cardboard next to his paintings.

    Extractions: St. Michael Gallery of Art Jasper F. Cropsey Collections ... Past Events The Cropseys returned to America in 1863, after selling everything at auction in England. Jasper and Maria were concerned about the Civil War. The war years were not good for artists and soon Jasper was teaching painting to select students as a way to augment his income. He also began to take architectural commissions. During this period he designed one of the first apartment houses in America, as well as the Gilbert Elevated Railway Station Cropsey also donated his services in decorating the Drill Shed of the 7 th Regiment Armory ( illustrated below). Front Elevation, Apartment House, 1867 In 1866 the Cropseys purchased 45 acres of land in Warwick, NY, on which Jasper designed and built "Aladdin", a 29 room Victorian mansion, in which the Cropseys would live until 1884. Aladdin was complete with a full artist’s studio in which Jasper would work. In the 1870’s, the Hudson River School style of painting was in decline. Darwinist theory and the Civil War contributed to a movement away from spiritual and national themes. The "God as Nature" view of Cropsey was becoming less popular as people no longer believed that America was the "Promised Land" or the new "Garden of Eden". As a result of the disillusionment in America, European art began to dominate the American art market.
