More Information
More famous for his majestic views of the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and other western sites, Moran also composed studies of the eastern landscape from the perspective of an inveterate walker. The feathery etching technique enhances his dynamic depiction of a windblown reed marsh. Moran was an admirer of the work of J.M.W. Turner, whose sublime conception of landscape remained a significant influence throughout his career.
