Artists and filmmakers in the early twentieth century reshaped our vision of the American West. In particular, the Taos Society of Artists and the California-based artist Maynard Dixon departed from the legendary depiction of the “Wild West” and fostered new images, or brands, for western art. This volume, illustrated with more than 150 images, examines select paintings and films to demonstrate how these artists both enhanced and contradicted earlier representations of the West. Prior to this period, American art tended to portray the West as a wild frontier with untamed lands and peoples. Renowned artists such as Henry Farny and Frederic Remington set their work in the past, invoking an environment immersed in conflict and violence. This trademark perspective began to change, however, when artists enamored with the Southwest stamped a new imprint on their paintings. The contributors to this volume illuminate the complex ways in which early-twentieth-century artists, as well as filmmakers, evoked a southwestern environment not just suspended in time but also permanent rather than transient. Yet, as the authors also reveal, these artists were not entirely immune to the siren call of the vanishing West, and their portrayal of peaceful yet “exotic” Native Americans was an expansion rather than a dismissal of earlier tropes. Both brands cast a romantic spell on the West, and both have been seared into public consciousness. Branding the American West is published in association with the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, Provo, Utah, and the Stark Museum of Art, Orange, Texas.

"The West is America. When considered through time and space, the West embraces the entire North American continent and its history. Just as there is no one true West, there is no one kind of western art. Through the linked, sometimes overlapping, themes of people, places, and ideas, art of the West can be viewed in ways not bounded by traditional notions, offering myriad meanings as well as an exciting and rewarding new appreciation for America, Americans, and American art." "The Rockwell Museum in Corning, New York, was founded in 1976 to house and exhibit fine collections of western art, Carder glass, guns, and antique toys. In 2000, the Museum's Board of Trustees decided to reinvent the Museum, focusing and building on its collections of western and Native American art. In 2001, the Rockwell Museum reopened as the Rockwell Museum of Western Art. With this catalog, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art is pleased to present highlights of its splendid collection of western and Native American art -- truly, "the best of the West in the East."

This encyclopedia is a biographical dictionary of some 1,000 women artists of the American West. The product of a twenty-year, coast-to-coast research project by authors Phil Kovinick and Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick, it offers accurate, concise introductions to women painters, graphic artists, and sculptors, all of whom achieved recognition as depictors of Western subjects between the 1840s and 1980. Their styles range from representationalism to early modernism, while their works depict everything from bold landscapes and scenes of intensive action to studies of Native Americans, pioneers, ranchers, farmers, wildlife, and flora. Each entry in the encyclopedia features the salient facts of the artist's life and career, with attention to her work with Western subject matter. Many of the entries also contain a selected list of the artist's exhibitions, current locations of her work in public collections, pertinent references, and a black-and-white example of her work. An overview of the history of women in western art complements the biographical entries.

Each era in the history of the West has produced a small group of artists who have served to define the Western art genre and whose works have struck a particular chord with the public. Today, the market for Western art continues to boom and the Cowboy Artists of America have made the biggest contribution to this phenomenon. The most prestigious and widely recognized group of Western artists in the country, the CAA has defined the parameters of Western art, dictating style, subject matter, and market value. This large-format book features the artwork of more than fifty current and past members of this elite organization of painters and sculptors. Their subjects range from mountain men, early settlers, and Native Americans, to cowboy life of both the old West and the contemporary ranch. The Western landscape's defining character provides an underlying force throughout.

"For most of us, the art of the American West is epitomized in the work of two gifted turn-of-the-century artists: Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Indeed, the way they jointly imagined the semi-legendary Old west to have been has now become the way we imagine it: the images of the Old West that we see today in films, in book and magazine illustrations, in retrospective paintings and sculpture, even in the theater of our own minds, are all in some degree beholden to images crystallized nearly 100 years ago by these two men. The term "crystallized" is, however, important, for Remington and Russel obviously invented neither the West nor the art that depicted it. Artists -- some of great distinction -- had been producing images of the West for a full century before Remington and Russell appeared on the scene, and Remington and Russell, for all their skill and innovative brilliance, worked within an already established tradition. They may have produced some of the most memorable expressions of that tradition, but they never broke with it. Nor have most of today's Western artists really broken with it. Even works as original and personal as the masterly paintings of Georgia O"Keeffe are strewn with such familiar elements of Western imagery as sun-bleached antelope skulls, barren, eroded hills, and stark adobe walls. If the intentions of Western artists have been as various as idioms in which they have addressed us, for 200 years the great traditions of Western art have nevertheless given their works both a common grammar and a special resonance. In this handsome portfolio of western painting and sculpture since the 1820s, author Kate F. Jennings well illustrates the continuities that underlie the seeming diversity of Western art. And by focusing in particular on Remington and Russell, she allows us to see their work in its true context -- as an especially brilliant link in what amounts to an unbroken chain, as a novel and imaginative summation of all that had gone before and a startlingly potent influence on all that would follow."--Publisher's description
