It is not difficult to sort out the true nature of American art culture behind Lyn’s Manhattan Project from the riffraff of the bastardized American entertainment culture represented by Wall-Street-run shareholder values.
It can be done with one very exciting nineteenth century cultural concept of civilizing both man and nature, which was established by James Fennimore Cooper in The Last of the Mohicans, and which had never existed before in any other European art school. That principle can be found in the following three parts of this report:
- THOMAS COLE AND ‘THE CLOVE, CATSKILLS’
- WORTHINGTON WHITTREDGE AND ‘THE OLD HUNTING GROUNDS’
- SOGA SHOHAKU AND ‘THE THREE LAUGHERS AT TIGER RAVINE’
