From the Author:
The art of the West is a cultural mirror
The West of the Imagination traces the visual evolution of the myth of the American West, from the West as unknown frontier to the West as the long-lost repository of rugged American values. Through our copiously illustrated narrative, you will see the visual re-interpretation of the West and its peoples by European-American as well as Native American artists. Interpreting the West is an on- going cultural process that continues to the present. The art of the American West is a cultural mirror of American aspirations, fears, sins, passions, values and prejudices. Read about them all in The West of the Imagination.
