Nocturne By:Hélène Valance Published on 2018-06-12 by Yale University Press A beautifully illustrated look at the vogue for night landscapes amid the social, political, and technological changes of modern America The turn of the 20th century witnessed a surge in the creation and popularity of nocturnes and night landscapes in American art.
