Landscapes of Extraction: The Art of Mining in the American West explores the modern evolution of mining imagery through more than 65 paintings, prints, and more that span the 1910s to the present. The exhibition begins with works from the early- to mid-20th century, when artists portrayed regional themes and industries in their work, inspired, in part, by New Deal programs, while contemporary works demonstrate how artists have, over time, become more attuned to the monumental impact that humans, technology, mining, and other industries have on the natural world. Altogether, Landscapes of Extraction offers a panoramic view of the art of mining in the western United States, illuminating how artists have long been fascinated with interpreting and conveying mining scenes. $23.
