The Mountains and the Sky

By Lorne E. Render

Book Overview

The power of the land irresistably dominates those who come to western North America, and to a unique degree the development of painting in the West has reflected the changing response of the artist to the land. Over 200 paintings of western landscapes are beautifully reproduced in this volume, from the works of early expedition artists, such as Paul Kane to the contemporary paintings of talented, young artists who continue to draw their inspiration from this western panorama.
