    Philadelphia's role as a center for printmaking and PAFA's strong presence as a place of innovation in graphic arts has loomed large in American art for over 200 years. Accordingly, PAFA's extensive print collection is among the hidden gems of its permanent collection. This installation features a selection of prints since the 1960s highlighting the versatile and boundary-shifting nature of printmaking over the past several decades. The Hudson River School is one of the most influential traditions in the history of American landscape painting. Ranging from grand visions of the American West to quiet forest interiors, American painters absorbed the traditions of European landscape artists and reinvented them to celebrate the distinctiveness of the vast American landscape and created new art for a new land.
