About the artwork
Dated 1957, "Cathedral, 2500 ft. high. Columbia R." is an artwork by James Madison Alden. It is listed in the Landscape collection. The image is in landscape orientation. Landscape in brief: Painters have used landscape to study light, weather, season, and the relation between people and place. The invention of paint in tubes in the 1840s made it easier to work outdoors, and landscape became a main subject of Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. Context for 1957: Photography, film, and print culture became part of the language of art, and artists across the world developed their own responses to modernism. The range of materials widened to include acrylic paint, screen printing, and mixed media.
"Cathedral, 2500 ft. high. Columbia R." is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard.
