AS WITH ANY artist worthy of the title, George Inness (18251894) is not easily summed up. Often associated with the Hudson River School, he was, in fact, aesthetically in opposition to the large, detailed canvases which characterized the work of such painters as Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), two major representative painters of that group. Others see him as a transplanted member of the French Barbizon School, more in tune with their less grandiose, more intimate landscapes of homely, domesticated scenes of rural France. Still others as the title of this exhibition* indicates see him as a visionary theorist, painting dreamy landscapes fraught with symbolic messages and meanings. And, like any artist, these and many other attempts at pigeonholing might well fit part of the man and his work.

However, few serious artists few persons for that matter are simple creatures, one-dimensional beings whose creative output reflect one vision, one style, one statement. The current exhibition of approximately 40 of Inness' paintings at the National Academy of Design Museum in New York City offers an opportunity to reassess both the man and his work.
