Inspired by nineteenth-century painters and photographers, US Congress passed legislation preserving America's spectacular natural resources for the enjoyment of all. Today, artists continue to play a significant role in interpreting these iconic panoramas, intimate corners, and diverse wildlife within the national parks. In Art of the National Parks, seventy painters and sculptors offer distinctive visions of eight of the US's most beloved wild lands.
