Framed to the east and west by the majestic Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the region is defined by the river made famous in the 1882 song \"Oh, Shenandoah.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe highly regarded painter Andrei Kushnir has spent years traveling throughout every corner of the Shenandoah Valley, capturing its myriad landscapes and architectural features with panache and an extraordinary appreciation for place. The paintings collected here highlight Kushnir's rare ability to paint any landscape before him--pastoral or industrial, recreational or social, rural or urban, riparian or agricultural--all the while working out in the elements, en plein air. By organizing Kushnir's paintings along highways US 11, US 340, and VA 42, enabling travelers to follow the paintings in geographical order, the book captures the Shenandoah Valley and its famous river in a uniquely comprehensive and intuitive way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the 263 plein-air paintings, \u003ci\u003eOh, Shenandoah\u003c\/i\u003e presents in-depth historical and curatorial essays by Warren R.
