Always Eventful

The Cinematic West: The Art That Made The Movies examines the connection between artists Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and other artists at the birth of Hollywood’s Western film genre. Their depictions of the American West—its landscapes, characters, and mythology—directly shaped the visual language and narrative conventions of early Western films. By placing paintings, sculptures, and illustrations alongside clips from silent Westerns, vintage movie posters, and related ephemera, the exhibition reveals striking parallels between the visual storytelling of these artists and the cinematic techniques employed by early filmmakers.

Exhibition on display until April 20, 2026.
