A remarkable testament to the enduring culture, power, and myth of
the American West This handsome book displays an extraordinary
breadth of masterworks dating from the 1790s to the present,
including over 140 artists in some 320 beautiful color
reproductions. In a variety of media and styles, iconic American
artists including Frederic Remington, Thomas Moran, Charles M.
Russell, and Georgia O'Keeffe, as well as under-explored artists
such as Walter Ufer and Kevin Red Star, address the fascinating
topics and themes of Native American culture, American politics,
land conservation, and the implications of Manifest Destiny. The
historical art featured here helped to shape our perceptions of
Native Americans, cowboys, and western landscapes; the recent and
contemporary pieces shed a modern light on western cultures and
challenge long-held myths and assumptions about the American West.
Art of the American West is timed to coincide with the opening of a
new expansion to the Tacoma Art Museum, brilliantly designed to
house these artworks and to connect with and contribute to the
city's culture and history. Lavishly illustrated, the book also
includes insightful essays written by some of the most important
scholars working with this material today. This privately held
collection is published here for the first time. Published in
association with the Tacoma Art Museum
