Desert Tracks: Wildlife
Art of the American Southwest
On January 19, 2001,
the National Museum of Wildlife Art will open "Desert Tracks: Wildlife
Art of the American Southwest." This exhibition will be the first in
a series showcasing wildlife from various regions of the world.
Desert
Tracks focuses on depictions of wildlife of the
southwestern region of the United States. Subjects include jackrabbits,
bobcats, coyotes, rattle snakes, roadrunners, buzzards, whitetail deer and
other southwestern wildlife. Organized by the NMWA, the exhibition of 40
artworks will include paintings, sculpture, lithographs and photographs,
both selected from the NMWA's permanent collection and on loan from private
collections and museums such as the Dallas Museum of Art, the Texas Memorial
Museum, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. (left: Robert Kuhn, Run

Desert Tracks will include
works by well-known wildlife artists and will introduce the work of artists
who depict animals of the American southwest but who are not usually identified
as wildlife artists. Artists of the past represented in the exhibition will
include such well known names as John James Audubon, Frank Tenney Johnson,
William Herbert "Buck" Dunton, Ernest Martin Hennings, Alexandre
Hogue, John Ford Clymer and Georgia O'Keeffe. Contemporary artists will
include, among others, Bob Kuhn, John Nieto, Ken Carlson, Steve Kestrel
and David Everett.
This exhibition has been generously sponsored by Jayne
and Dick Johnston and Gloria and Bill Newton.
