Landscape Painting at OKCMOA: From Wilderness to Imagined Places
In Landscape Painting, a view of nature is also a set of artistic choices: a painter can present it as wilderness, a settled place, a picturesque escape or an imagined world. The installation at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art invites visitors to consider how subject and style shape those different kinds of landscapes.
Landscapes that are lived in—or invented
The installation draws on 19th- and 20th-century paintings of America and Europe. Its subjects range from forested and mountainous terrain to rural communities, villages and picturesque places away from cities; some works picture landscapes that exist only in the artist’s imagination.
That span offers a useful way to look beyond a painting’s setting. Compare what changes when the natural world is treated as wilderness, as a place where people live, or as an imagined scene.

Style changes the character of a place
The museum describes a range from the idealized naturalism associated with the Hudson River School to Fauvism’s expressive, boldly colored brushwork. Those approaches give visitors a way to compare not only what a landscape depicts, but how the painter’s handling changes its effect.
The event page’s image credits name Thomas Cole’s An Italian Autumn (detail), circa 1844–1847, an oil painting on canvas; Oscar Brousse Jacobson’s The Needles, Colorado Desert (detail), circa 1923, also oil on canvas; and Hans Hofmann’s Provincetown Number One (detail), from 1937, oil on board. These credits offer examples to look for, not a complete checklist of works on view.
