New Beginnings
An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West
Produced on the occasion of the New Beginnings traveling exhibition, this lavishly illustrated catalogue presents 111 objects by 72 artists from the Tia Collection, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and sculptures.

Colorado
The Artist’s Muse
This latest volume in the Denver Art Museum’s Western Passages series celebrates a diverse group of painters who found special allegiance to the Rockies and to the human history of Colorado. Many who ventured into Colorado in the 1800s sought inspiration in the land.
West Point Points West
West Point Points West celebrates the confluence of military mission and artistic pursuit. Five distinguished scholars— B. Byron Price, David Reel, John Pultz, Roger Echo-Hawk, and Joan Carpenter Troccoli— offer varying perspectives on the seminal role played by West Point and the U.S. Army in the development of western American art.
Heart of the West
New Painting and Sculpture of the American West
Because western art is by definition topical, it is also by necessity representational, and often narrative. Western artists must therefore rely on a certain degree of realism to express themselves visually. While this tendency toward realism is out of keeping with abstract impressionism, it resonates positively with today’s audiences.
After Lewis and Clark
The Forces of Change, 1806–1871
After Lewis and Clark highlights more than sixty paintings, drawings, and prints in the collection of one of America’s finest museums of American art, the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This richly illustrated book presents and places in aesthetic and historical context many of the priceless portraits, striking scenes, and grand landscapes inspired during the sixty-five years after the Corps of Discovery completed its epic journey. It features the works of notable artists of the nineteenth-century American West, including George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, Charles Bird King, Paul Kane, Seth Eastman, Carl Wimar, John Mix Stanley, Albert Bierstadt, and Thomas Moran.
