Autumn in the Mohawk Valley, New York, depicting the lowlands between the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, epitomizes the golden Tonalist landscapes of Bruce Crane. Born in New York City, Crane studied with Alexander H. Wyant before attending the Art Students League from 1878-82. In addition to the New York mountains, the pastoral settings of East Hampton, Long Island, and New Jersey also provided material for Crane's poetic works. The Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover; Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown; Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk; Denver Art Museum; Hunter Museum of American Art, Chattanooga; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; New Jersey State Museum, Trenton; and Phoenix Art Museum are among the numerous institutions featuring Crane's paintings.
