Show ylf WE1 The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, September 21, 1975 he art scene I Canvas cowboys roam through Cody in western art exhibit this month The wind that cools ihe hills COPY, Wvo Ijcb'iid Cody this morning is from the west. It is a (cosing, friendly breeze that rumples the hair, flips shirt collar and leaves a i..ii t scent of desprt juniper ,1i.i olumwood. old and Cody is the West new. Old in the warm nostalgia o! what the west was open, new m the frank, friendly pulsing awareness of the present It's easy to understand the warmth that attaches to the term ''Western. Something linked to comfortableness and n informality. The locus of a ing resides in the smaller community understandthe Western d cnmmuniiy to be deep within the grand scele and immense perspectual depths of the west. Visitors find a few western towns unspoiled and . one of them. One of their delightful Cody experiences here is a visit to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center which includes the Whitney Galery of Western Art, The Buffalo Bill and The Plains Indian Museum. It was visited this year by 200, COO people. The largest attendance on a single day was man-to-ma- exact-situate- 2,59.1 on Aug. 7. Special Day The c ui rent exhibition season winch ends with this month has featured a special display in the "Wedge" Gallery. Paintings, sculpture and photographs have been assembled in tribute to the Wyoming Cowboy The catalog with a preface by Don Hedgpcth, Director of the Center, accompanies the Cowboy exhibit which also features a pair of chuck wagons loaned by Montana rancher H. W. Willcutt. Cowboy bronzes by Utah artist Ed FraugMon and Grant Speed are included with pieces by Solon Borguim, Frederic Remington and others. Adding L distinguished canvases by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell and others are loans by private collectors and the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. One of the latter group "The Wild Horse Hunters" is to Russels painting what The Night Watch is to Rembrandt. Director Hedgieth pays an eloquent tribute to the men who rode the range in the introduction to the catalog. But it is the iiorse who usually stars in the Russell paintings This one is no exception. An elusive band of mustangs has been trapped at the head of a dusty draw by a tno of riders and their hard driving mounts. Fatique sinpw worn tiredness cries out of every musclc.l but to this is added the terror of entrapment in the cornered band. Clawing at dry clay banks that yield only to a false summit, 1 the desperate group shuns a black beauty trapped in the snare of the first flung lasso. Russell's Figures With all of Remingtonr suavity in rendering horse flesh. Ins animals preserve a sense of mans Russells equine figures become prime bidding movers m the plot and seem literally to take the initiative. The Huners adds up to a frenzied battle between two horse factions one of which is at the moment in command. Remingtons horses seem impeccable con- strained to the task they are asked to perform. Russells horse flesh tests the sheer limits of muscle and tendon. They are organic creatures with spent nostrils: glaring eyeballs: foam flecked withers twisting beneath a saddle frame; haunches driving furiously to counter the weight of a struggling steer or to regain balance in rough terrain. Vital landscapes enthuse the setting for his oils. He applies strident full bodied colors as a courageous weaver imposes Incisive threads on warp and weft. Blue and violet tones force the distant reaches to add w armth to near buttes and peaks. A funding drive has been initiated for a new building designed to house the Plains Indian Museum at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. With an expenditure of more than $3.5 million and floor space of 45,000 square feet, the handsome new building will allow an accurate presentation of the unique culture of the Plains Indian tribes which around 1,800 numbered almost 300,000. The new Museum will provide the opportunity to incorporate priceless materials from new donors into the Historical Centers already extensive collection. James Nielson, president of Husky Oil Company, has been named to head the drive by Mrs. H R. Coe, chairman of the Board of the Buffalo Bill Memorial Association. Stated Nielson, "We want to share with the entire country our western history as it evolved in this area. The proposed new facility will do more than just house an enlarged collection of Indian materials. It will lend itself to realistic display concepts of a situational nature which will contribute to the education and edification of the thousands of people who visit th Historical Center each year. Nielson will soon release plans for the drive which he hopes to complete by mid 1976. Western Art in Russia A $2 million exhibition of Western art the first to be shown outside the United States and the first exhibit of Western Art to be shown in Russia will be loaned to Russia early next year, according to Gene Ball, public relations director. The selection of paintings representing works by Russell, Remington, Bierstadt and others will be shown at the Hermitage in Leningrad and other museums after the first of the year. It will return to the Cody museum for the regular season next spring. Previously announced is a traveling exhibition of 200 items to be displayed for eight weeks at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Paintings by Bierstadt, Catlin, Bodrner, Miller and Schreyvogel, as well as posters. Buffan Bill photographs, Indian costumes, headdresses, jewelry etc., from the Plains tribes, will be put together by Gudmund Vigtel, director of the High Museum, working with curators Leo Platteter, Richard Frost and director Don Iledgpeth of the BBIIC staff. a' " v ' - " r:T ' ' i . ,V " e i vy w vs ?
