IMAGES ABOUT THE AMERICAN
WEST
BY MELVILLE HOLMES
Jundt Art Museum Gonzaga University Spokane, Washington January 9- May 13, 2017
The exhibition From the Collection: Images About the American West contains some 65 works by 56 artists from the 19th to the 21st century, each dealing in some way with subjects from the Western United States. Most works are from the Jundt’ s permanent collection, with several on loan from a private collection. The images cover a multiplicity of perspectives, sensibilities, styles and media, as artists have explored aesthetic, historical, and cultural themes related to the West. The works are displayed chronologically in a clockwise manner around the gallery. Space will not allow detailed commentary but a few highlights will be mentioned here.
