George Inness (American, 1825–1894)
Catskill Mountains, 1870
Art Institute Chicago
George Inness’s Catskill Mountains depicts a land tamed by human presence. The church, the carefully tended fields, and the hayrick on the right are all finely delineated in a manner typical of Inness’s early style. During the mid-19th century, the Catskill Mountain range was America’s premiere tourist site. The region’s close proximity to urban centers and abundant spectacular views made the Catskills a popular destination for those who wanted to escape from the bustle of modern life.

Twenty year old sweethearts, Nick Ercoline and Bobbi Kelly were immortalized as the poster (flower) children of Woodstock.
This photograph of the couple wrapped in a tender embrace and a pink blanket, became the cover of 1970’s “Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More.”
Married since 1971, Nick and Bobbi have two children, four grand children, still together and still living near the farm at Bethel Woods, in New York's Catskills mountains.
