Description:
Traveling from Yellowstone to the Hudson Valley, host Robert Hughes explores artists Albert Bierstadt, John James Audubon, Fredric Church, Fredric Remington and Thomas Cole. In their work he finds the conflicting impulses to worship the land and to conquer it, to create a myth of the West just as the frontier of itself is closing
