I have always admired Western art. Having spent several years living on the west coast, I became familiar with the art work of traditional Western artists. In the last few years, I have developed an interest in western art trends.
The art of the American West was not given serious attention except in a few Western states until recently. The traditional Western art included the old masters of Taos. The old masters of Taos painted their environment as reflected in their work. The artists in this group included Joseph Henry Sharp, Victor Higgins and of course Georgia O’Keeffe. Another one of my favorite traditional Western artist is Charlie Russell. Russell is frequently referred to as the “cowboy artist.” His paintings and sculptures reflect his knowledge and passion for life in the west.
Today’s top painters and sculptures of the West are taking a new approach. Their work can be described as innovative and imaginative. These artists are not so much concerned with accurate renderings of figures or objects. They seem to allow their dreams and imaginations direct their creative processes.
