Exhibit Features Landscapes of Past and Present

A summer exhibition at the Great Plains Art Collection features works of art from the permanent collection that reflect changing modes of movement through the plains and mountain landscapes of the American West.

Moving Through the Landscape: Plains and Mountains, Past and Present shows how artists of the 19th and 20th centuries have drawn heavily upon romantic notions of this area as a vast, awe-inspiring wilderness filled with the presence of untold resources and promise. These artists of the past and present have depicted vistas of immense prairie spaces as well as visions of the towering ranges of the Rocky Mountains and Far West in their paintings and graphic works.

Artists in the exhibition include Albert Bierstadt, Karl Bodmer, William Cary, Fremont Ellis, Mel Gerhold, Hal Holoun, William Henry Jackson, Keith Jacobshagen, Gerry Metz, Aaron Pyle, and Olaf Wieghorst.

This exhibit at the Great Plains Art Collection, located in 205 Love Library, is on display through Aug. 30. Pictured above is an untitled 1940 oil painting by Charles Simmons.
