دع عنك لومي .., وهات ما لديك من إطراء. غازي القصيبي_______ سياسي وأديب سعودي Thomas Moran 1837-1926 Thomas Moran was an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose work often featured the Rocky Mountains. Moran and his family took residence in New York where he obtained work as an artist. A talented illustrator and exquisite colorist, Moran was hired as an illustrator at Scribners Monthly. During the late 1860s, he was appointed the chief illustrator of the magazine, a position that helped him launch his career as one of the premier painters of the American landscape. Moran along with Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hill, and William Keith are sometimes referred to as belonging to the Rocky Mountain School of landscape painters because of all of the Western landscapes made by this group. Thomas Moran began his artistic career as a teenage apprentice to the Philadelphia wood-engraving firm Scattergood; Telfer. Moran found the engraving process tedious and spent his free time working on his own watercolors. By the mid 1850s he was drawing the firms illustrations for publication rather than carving them and he began studying with local painter James Hamilton who introduced him to the work of British artist J.M.W. Turner. Moran traveled to England in 1862 to see Turners work and he often acknowledged that artists influence on his use of color and choice of landscapes. During the 1870s and 1880s Morans designs for wood-engraved illustrations appeared in major magazines and gift oriented publications.
