H.L.A “Harry” Culmer painted magnificent scenes of the American West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He opined that the mountains were “the most noble subject for an artists’ brush.”
This exhibition will explore what the artists in the exhibition considered their “most noble subject.” It will share where they found inspiration and prompt visitors to consider: “what inspires you to create?”
