Thomas Moran
Thomas Moran (February 12, 1837 - August 25, 1926) was an artist
of the Hudson River School. Thomas Moran's vision of the Western
landscape was critical to the creation of Yellowstone National Park.
His pencil and watercolor field sketches and paintings captured
the grandeur and documented the extraordinary terrain and natural
features of the Yellowstone region. Moran's artwork was presented
to members of Congress by park proponents. These powerful images
of Yellowstone fired the imagination and helped inspire Congress
to establish the National Park System in 1916. Mount Moran in the
Grand Teton National Park is named for Moran.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
