Today we looked at this painting by Asher Durand called "Kindred Spirits." Durand is one of the most famous Transcendentalist painters, and this is a prime example of his landscape painting. The two men in the painting are Durand and Thomas Cole who were instrumental in starting the Hudson River School (an art movement made up of transcendentalist painters). As you look at this painting write about whatever comes to mind. You can talk about the painting itself or you can merely use it as a jumping off place.
