Description

Artist John Steuart Curry (1897-1946) was raised on a farm in Northeast Kansas and is best known for his depictions of the Midwest. Another region revealed in his art, the American West, has always deserved more attention. Experiences on a family-owned ranch in Arizona nurtured Curry's love of the Western landscape. During the 1920s the artist illustrated serialized magazine stories that took readers on Wild West adventures. In later years he interpreted the history of Westward expansion in murals for federal buildings and classic novels such as James Fenimore Cooper's The Prairie. Through more than forty works, including paintings and magazine illustrations, this exhibition catalogue explores the motives for Curry's fascination with the region and the dialogue between his depictions of a real and imagined American West. Co-curated by independent scholar Frank N. Owings Jr. and Curator Elizabeth G. Seaton of Kansas State University's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, John Steuart Curry: The Cowboy Within is accompanied by an introduction by William H. Truettner, former Smithsonian American Art Museum curator and editor and author of The West as America: Reinterpreting Images of the Frontier, 1820 - 1920.
