David Hartt: The Histories

Borrowing its title from Herodotus’ fifth-century work, this publication documents a cycle of three works by artist David Hartt. Focusing on the Americas and the Caribbean during the 19th century, Hartt explores real and imagined landscapes informed by the work of Martin Johnson Heade, Robert S. Duncanson, Michel-Jean Cazabon and Frederic Church. His contemporary interpretations use video, tapestry and sculpture alongside musical collaborations.
