The art of the American West captures the spirit, landscapes, and cultural history of the western United States. It includes depictions of vast prairies, rugged mountains, and iconic imagery such as cowboys, Native Americans, and frontier life. This genre has been shaped by artists like Frederic Remington, who portrayed the dramatic and often romanticized vision of the West. The art serves not only as a visual record of history but also as a means to explore themes of adventure, expansion, and the relationship between humans and the natural world.
This exhibit includes paintings, sculptures, art prints, jewelry, textiles, and other objects representative of the American West.
