Seasons of the Desert: Landscapes of the American Southwest

Exhibition Website

Mar 16 2018 - Jun 10 2018

Seasons of the Desert will explore shifting views of the Southwest in the winter, spring, summer and autumn. Created over the past 100 years, these works range from realist scenes to heavily abstracted modern portrayals of the landscape. Each painter in this exhibit depicts the desert as a vibrant place, worthy of an artist’s brush, not a desolate wasteland. By showing the cycle of the seasons in the Southwest, this exhibition explores how artists helped change impressions of American deserts and inspires an appreciation for the unique southwestern landscape.
