About the piece

Created around 1850, this work by Thomas Chambers is a masterful example of American folk art. Genesee Falls is rendered with the artist's signature rhythmic brushwork and bold use of contrast, featuring churning white water against the dark, stylized forms of the surrounding landscape and distant village homes.
