Window to the West

An important part of our national and cultural heritage, the American West, its landscape, wildlife, peoples, history, and mythology, continues to capture the imagination and attract artistic and scholarly attention. This exhibition presents classic Western subject matter ranging from grand vistas of pristine wilderness and striking wildlife portraits, to iconic figures and dramatic genera scenes. Lushly painted visions entice the eye and captivate the senses, offering the viewer a rich opportunity to contemplate an American West inspired by the echoes of history, the realities of the present, the persistence of tradition, and the romance of legend. "Window to the West" features a selection of paintings from the Don Huntley Collection of Western Art and showcases work by many of the nation's leading and rising contemporary Western artists: Roy Anderson, Bill Anton, Bruce Cheever, Brent Cotton, Kelly Donovan, Larry Dyke, Lori Forest, Matthew Hiller, Bonnie Marris, Buck McCain, Nicholas Coleman, Ralph Oberg, Roger Ore, Robert Peters, Clark Kelley Price, Donald "Putt" Putman, Kyle Sims, Richard D. Thomas, Curt Walters, Jeffrey Watts, and David Yorke.
