After
lunch, I picked up where I left off on the second floor of the adjacent
Frederic C. Hamilton Building in a gallery dedicated to American Art of the
Western United States. In its
galleries were works of paints, photography, even a couple sculptures--a really
nice example of Deborah Butterfield's found object horses. But I will limit my sharing to a just
few of the paintings.
"When
Destiny Meets Oblivion" 2003 by Bill Schenck (1947 -
"Ranch Near Rocky Ridge" 2005 by Howard Post (1926
- 2010)
"Half Dome, Yosemite" 2013 by Gregory Kondos (1923
-
Upon first glance, I was certain that this was a painting by
Richard Deibenkorn. And here's
when it's really nice to be wrong--when your love for one artist leads you to
discover a new artist!
"Medicine Bird" circa 1944 by Gerald Curtis Delano
(1890 - 1972)
"Mountain Lake (Eagle Nest)" 1935 by Ernest L.
Blumenschein (1874 - 1960)
I
was delighted to see this painting by Blumenschein. For over 20 years I taught with a woman who's married name
was Blumenschein and first discovered this artist at the Smithsonian Museum of
American Art in DC, making the connection to her uncommon last name. This is the first time I have
discovered his work someplace else.
"Taos,
New Mexico" 1918-20 by Victor Higgins (1884 - 1949)
"Game
Hunter (Snow)" 1922 by Victor Higgins (1884 - 1949)
"Trail
Riders" 1964 by Thomas Hart Benton (1889 - 1975)
