The museum of painting in the South takes on a Western look with this special exhibition which includes approximately 60 paintings exploring our fascination with the American West. Organized for national tour by the Colorado Historical Society in Denver, Colorado, the paintings have been selected from the William and Dorothy Harmsen Collection of Western Americana which is important both for its aesthetic and historical content. With the assistance of Smith Kramer, Inc., a fine arts service company located in Kansas City, Missouri, the exhibition is traveling to selected American museums over a three-year period.
