Under Western Skies - Landscapes by California Artists
"Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies.
Let me wander over yonder ‘til I see the mountains rise."
Cole Porter
The expansive sky over California has captivated the imagination of artists and writers
for centuries. It is both inspiring and humbling.
In the twenty landscapes selected for this exhibition, the verdant greens and rich
browns used to capture the beauty and grandeur of California’s topography share the
canvas with every shade of blue, white, and grey. The skies above Yosemite, Squaw
Valley, Fort Ross, The Salinas Valley, Mission Bay, and Mt. Tamalpais are the subject
of works by Maynard Dixon, Thomas Hill, William Keith, Jules Tavernier, and other early
California artists.
