The Western Sublime: Majestic Landscapes of the American West
The Western Sublime: Majestic Landscapes of the American West examines works of art of the American West that interpret, reinvent, and transform the idea of the sublime: an aesthetic ideal with an emotional or spiritual charge that instills awe or inspires fear. In a range of art from the mid-1800s to today, this exhibition includes paintings, drawings, photography, prints, textiles, and basketry that consider ways that the sublime landscape is understood and its effect on the peoples, histories, and cultures of the American West in the past and present. This exhibition seeks to bring the sublime landscape into contemporary contexts and create new conversations from different perspectives and artistic styles.
