Description

Around the turn of the last century, American artists from the east coast art worlds in New York and Pennsylvania were drawn by an adventurous journey Southwestward. They were first brought to the Southwest as professional illustrators hired to document the stunning vistas for marketing tourism of new railroad systems and continental westward expansion of a growing United States. Artists were quickly enraptured by the opportunity to reveal to their audiences back home awe-inspiring desert colors and extraordinary ways of life of those connected to this uniquely American landscape. The exhibitions American Artists in the Southwest and American Paintings and Drawings - both from the Melanson Holt collection - showcase 35 masterful painters and printmakers who worked in media from oil and watercolor painting to lithography, etching, aquatint, wood block, and screen printing. The work presented in these two exhibitions spans a time period from the 1890s - 2000s with strong examples of work created Between the World Wars - the era that saw the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration, an increased influence in art of the European avant-garde, and a quest to find a "true" American art form located in the diversity of regions, including self-taught artists. Selected from the Melanson Holt Collection gifts, made from 2017-2019 in honor of the Mennello Museum of American Art Founding Director Frank Holt, the work in this book reflect a roster of renowned artists with ties to the Southwest and New Mexico, particularly realists living and working in one of the Taos and Santa Fe New Mexican art colonies - but also artists who had been largely marginalized in art historical discussion including indigenous and women artists. Early 20th century themes of landscape and culture of the Southwest are explored through consideration of art historical timing in the United States. From the first generation of Anglo artists settling in an already established Southwest, the Post World War I influx of a second-generation of artists, writers, and thinkers from the coasts to the Southwest during the Depression era, through World War II and America's evolution into Modernism.
