Visitors discovered the drama and majesty of the American West as it appeared over 100 years ago.

This exhibition of more than 50 paintings showed how the events, landscapes, and people of the new frontier captured the imagination of such celebrated artists as Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, Charles Russell, Henry Farny, and Maynard Dixon. These painters traveled west to document images of breathtaking vistas and romantic valor, creating a new genre of art.
