About This Item
W W Norton & Co Ltd. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1987. Hardcover. 0393023702 . The Companion To The Pbs Series; 54 oz.; 476 pages; HC w/DJ owner's name stamped 1st end page light shelf wear. "For many people, "western art" immediately conjures images by Frederic Remington or Georgia O'Keeffe - but there's so much more. From early explorers' first sketches of the Rockies to the modern earth sculptures of Michael Heizer, images of the American West are as multifaceted as its cultures. This book embraces them all." A landmark overview of western American art, the original edition of West of the Imagination brought the region to wide public attention as a companion to a popular PBS series of the same name. This new edition, significantly expanded and updated, shows that the West is a vibrant mirror of American cultural diversity. Through 450 illustrations - more than 300 in color - the authors trace the visual evolution of the myth of the American West, from unknown frontier to repository of American values, covering popular and high arts alike. .
