Main Street America Logo

     The Main Street America logo features a 1938 watercolor, "Cold Spring-on-Hudson," by artist Emil Holzhauer (1887-1986). Born in Germany and originally trained as a steel engraver and jewelry designer, Holzhauer's first love was painting. He came to New York in the early 1900s and trained with the Robert Henri School. Fellow artists included Edward Hopper, George Bellows and Rockwell Kent, whose style depicting the common man in everyday experiences became known as the "Ashcan School of Art."

    It is said that this painting of Cold Spring-on-Hudson, with the Hudson River and Storm King Mountain in the background, is one of many with which Holzhauer paid his monthly rent while in residence at a Cold Spring hotel that is now home to the Hudson House River Inn. The painting is part of a private collection.
