Item Number: 130713 Title: Art of the American West : The Haub Family Collection at Tacoma Art Museum Author: Fry, Laura F. (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780300207606 Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, in association with the Tacoma Art Museum, 2014. 29cm., hardcover, 312pp., 323 color illus. Summary: This handsome book displays an extraordinary breadth of masterworks dating from the 1790s to the present, including over 140 artists in some 350 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.
