The Blanton's holdings of 19th-century American art are especially strong in landscape imagery, specifically paintings depicting the American West. Many of these works were donated by University of Texas alumnus C.R. Smith, who favored this subject and collected it in depth. Several of the artists, such as Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, and Worthington Whitridge, are broadly associated with the Hudson River School, a group of artists inspired by nature and who often painted a romanticized, idealized version of it. The C.R. Smith Collection is especially strong in works by Henry F. Farny, a painter and illustrator who became well-known for his depictions of Native Americans.
