The Hudson River Museum has organized \u003ci\u003eThe Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art\u003c\/i\u003e—the first major museum examination of the moon in American visual arts from the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries for a 2019 exhibition. This timely presentation also celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission when, in 1969, American astronauts first stepped onto the surface of the moon. \u003cbr\u003e From the romantic silvery moonscapes of nineteenth-century artists to the abstractions by artists of the twentieth century who explored the moon, the perfect orb, and tapped into its spiritual possibilities, this celestial body, closest to Earth, remains constant in our sky, though our relationship to it and our home planet changes, as technology extends our reach toward space. \u003cbr\u003e The Hudson River Museum, Fordham University Press, and the James A. Michener Art Museum are joint publishers of the lavishly illustrated catalog \u003ci\u003eThe Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art\u003c\/i\u003e. In engaging essays, author Stella Paul maps the colors of the moon; catalog co-editors Bartholomew F. Bland and Laura Vookles explore Hudson River School and Modernist moonscapes and their cultural resonance; and curators Melissa Martens Yaverbaum and Ted Barrow sight the moon's passage in art of both the Gilded and Space ages. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe exhibition and catalog have been made possible by a generous grant by the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J.
