If These Walls Could Talk

The Cooper-Hewitt's current exhibition, Rooms with a View: Landscape and Wallpaper, on display through October 14th, traces the visual history of the medium as it grew from a small cottage industry into a booming, mass-market enterprise over the course of three centuries. Culled from the museum's own collection—the most comprehensive of its genre—the pieces are grouped thematically, according to evolving depictions of the landscape, from idealized to abstracted.
