The American West has inspired artists for centuries with its natural beauty and majestic landscapes. In the 20th century, Georgia O’Keeffe reveals a unique vision of the Southwest in her iconic paintings of landscapes, nature and found objects. Photographer Ansel Adams sets a new standard for the art of black and white photography in his majestic landscapes. Richard Diebenkorn and Ed Ruscha will re-imagine Southern California in their modern interpretations of bold color and iconic imagery as they continue to explore the Western panorama. In a wide range of visual images, profiles of the artists, and historical context, this lecture will explore the artists, their work, and their enduring influence on the art of the West.
