This exhibition uf the Utah Arts Council's eling Exhibition Program. inert Tissandier was one of the handful of European artists who visited the American West during the nineteenth century. He is little known in his native France but his two trips to the United States were unique and of particular interest in this region because of his visit to Utah in 1885. On this first visit, which took him to major ma-jor sites ranging from Pittsburgh to the Grand Canyon, he did over 200 drawings. These drawings were later used to make lithographic illustrations for a publication. The Traveling Exhibition Program is a statewide outreach service of the Utah Arts Council. The program provides pro-vides schools, museums and galleries throughout the state with a variety of exhibitions which may be booked free of charge for a period of one month. For further information on the Travel Exhibition Program, contact the Visual Arts Program at 533-5757 Salt Lake City. This program is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C., and by programming funds from the Utah Arts Council. |
