This summer, three exhibitions will be opening concurrently at Joslyn Art Museum. These exhibitions are:
Yellowstone and the West: The Chromolithographs of Thomas Moran
In 1876, Louis Prang published a portfolio of fifteen chromolithographs after watercolors by the renowned painter Thomas Moran. Released to coincide with the nation’s centennial, this was one of the first illustrated publications about the West to be printed in color, helping to transform our understanding of the region from an alien wilderness to a central part of our national identity.
Mark di Suvero: Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park
Coinciding with the installation of a monumental sculpture by Mark di Suvero commissioned by the Iowa West Foundation for Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park in Council Bluffs, Joslyn presents this complementary exhibition of the artist’s work, including studies for the Tom Hanafan River’s Edge commission, smaller sculptures, and prints.
The Lure of Public Land: Photographs of the West by William Sutton
Over the past three decades, photographer William Sutton has documented public lands throughout the West. The majority of Sutton’s photographs were made on lands under the control of the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. Sutton’s photographs convey a hopeful view of the landscape while also suggesting the challenges of environmental conflicts, the multiple demands placed on limited resources, and the history of settlement and development.
