About the Book:Before the famed director John Ford declared Monument Valley as his greatest star, artists had already immortalized Utah's plateau province in paintings. This book explores the contrast between local painters and those who visited, beginning with Native American petroglyphs and tales of artists as explorers like John Wesley Powell. Thomas Moran's lithographs and exploration of the Zion region play a significant role. The love for the western landscape, particularly the desert terrain, is examined through the works of Maynard Dixon, Conrad Buff, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Ernst. Utah artists like Alfred Lambourne and Henry L. A. Culmer made groundbreaking contributions, capturing the natural beauty of parks in the 1920s and the impact of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Today's artists, including V. Douglas Snow, Gary E. Smith, and Ed Mell, blend classical methods with bold juxtapositions to convey political, existential, or psychological themes. This compilation offers a visually stunning and informative journey through the profound influence of Utah's art on western and American culture.
