American Art on Paper: Impressions of the Southwest and Mexico September 26, 2010

The American Southwest and Mexico have long held an allure for both visiting and local artists. During the first half of the 20th century, many of the artists whose work appears in this focused exhibition traveled to New Mexico, Arizona, California and Mexico in search of inspiration, while others created impressions of the dynamic landscape and culture from native perspectives. Brought to life through lithographs, woodcuts, etchings and pastels, the subjects are as varied as the backgrounds, experiences and motives of the artists.
