Art Word of the Day: White mountain artists
Term: White mountain artists
Definition: During the 19th century, the
White Mountains of New Hampshire attracted countless artists. The areas around Conway Valley and Mount Washington were especially popular. Artists from all over the Northeast visited and painted the region???s scenery. Luxurious hotels were developed for visitors, and artists often became associated with them, offering souvenir artwork to tourists. In turn, hotels providing studio space and customers. Benjamin Champney is considered by many to be the founder of the White Mountain School. Among the numerous noted artists who were part of the 'school' were Edward Hill, Thomas Doughty, Alvan Fisher, John Frederick Kensett, Frank H. Shapleigh, and Winslow Homer.

Art Word of the Day
Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
Perhaps you've noticed that this post has been downvoted and you're wondering why?
@justinsunsteemit if you'd like to understand why Steemit is failing and how you can help:
You can take a valuable lesson from this. Democracy solves the problem of tyranny, and Steemit whales
are tyrants. Let me introduce you to @themarkymark. He is a whale. He does not like my "Word of the day" nor
a lot of other content on Steemit. He prides himself in having created a "Global Blacklist" to list
"inappropriate content and spam", which of course, he gets to define.
He has a lot of negative opinions about my dictionary and my posts and so he downvotes my content.
Nobody appointed him, and although he was "voted" as witness, the witness votes, just like the upvotes
are weighted and the whales all give each other witness votes to keep each other in power. A whale
like @themarkymark has full power to censor anyone on the blockchain. Whales create their own rules and
have had their own mafia-like downvote wars throughout the history of Steemit. The whales are the problem.
They are unethical, as all whales are, and it would serve Steemit best if it took some notes from Democracy.
My only method to combat the downvotes is to spam
Ironically enough I only posted twice a day until I started getting downvoted. Now I automatically post up to 4 times an
hour in hopes to get this message out. If the downvotes stop I will gladly go back to posting twice a day.
Don't like themarkymark either?
Unvote themarkymark for witness here
"I've never seen anyone leave such a long trail of blazing dumpster fires. I now believe the wreckless downvoting and blacklisting of thousands of accounts by themarkymark et al is the SOLE reason the price of Steem continues to fall. I didn't even make the photo for this post. That's right, I found it online. Fucking amazing."
Look at all these complaints from people all over the Internet
Most of these are written OFF of Steemit so as to avoid being downvoted and hidden. Amazing. So much for this "censorship-free blockchain".
