Born in Ada and living in Oklahoma,
Palmore emerged from the 1970s
Photorealist movement as a maverick. His
career includes more than a decade on
the East Coast, where he rened his skills
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Artsand exhibited in New Yorks prominent
contemporary galleries. Palmore used his
technical virtuosity to explore his passion
for the animal kingdom. Then as today,
his monumental paintings received critical
acclaim, and his incongruous juxtapositions
of realistic primates in silk-and-velvet
interiors earned him the nickname GorillaMan. In all cases, Palmores paintings loom
large not only in scale but also in raised
consciousness of the earthlings with whom
we share this planet, as he says.

Because western art is by denition topical,
it is also by necessity representational,
and often narrative. Western artists must
therefore rely on a certain degree of realism
to express themselves visually. While thistendency toward realism is out of keeping
with abstract impressionism, it resonates
positively with todays audiences.
Since the early 1990s, the Denver Art
Museum has collected and exhibited
the works of living American artists
who celebrate western themes through
representational forms of creative
expression. Heart of the Westpays tribute to
those artists, in particular to the remarkable

In 1880, Charles M. Russell headed west to
Montana, where he worked as a wrangler
and chronicled in paint, ink, and watercolor
the West and its people. For his splendid
depictions of bronco riders, roundups,
and everyday ranch life, Russell soon
became known as the Cowboy Artist.
Yet this Cowboy Artist also spent muchtime among the Indians and developed
a sympathetic understanding of and
appreciation for their efforts to preserve their
way of life. Russells memorable paintings
and drawings portray a frontier that was
vanishing, not only for Indians but also for
cowboys.
Peter H. Hassrick discusses Russells work
in the context of the artists experiences in
the West and the people who inuenced his
artistic style.

The Navajo rugs and textiles people buy today
are the result of many historical inuences,
particularly the interaction between Navajo
weavers and the traders who guided their
production and controlled their sale. John
Lorenzo Hubbell and other late-nineteenth-
century traders were convinced they knewwhich patterns and colors would appeal to
Anglo-American buyers, and so they heavily
encouraged those designs. In Patterns of
Exchange, Teresa J. Wilkins traces how the
relationships between Navajo weavers and
traders affected Navajo weaving.
Enhanced by numerous illustrations, this
volume traces the intricate play of cultural
and economic pressures and personal
relationships between artists and traders
that guided Navajo weavers to produce
textiles that are today emblems of the Native
American Southwest.

Ask anyone the world over to identify a
gure in buckskins with a feather bonnet,
and the answer will be Indian. Many
works of art produced by non-Native artists
have reected such a limited viewpoint. In
American Indians in British Art, 17001840,
Stephanie Pratt explores for the rst time anartistic tradition that avoided simplication
and that instead portrayed Native peoples in
a surprisingly complex light.
Pratt places artistic works in historical
context and traces a movement away from
abstraction, where Indians were symbols
rather than actual people, to representa-
tional art, which portrayed Indians as actors
on the colonial stage.
We look at this cradle as representing a particular

The Battle of the Little Bighorn has long held
an eminent position among the chronicles of
the mythic West. None of the men who rode
with Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong
Custer to his Last Stand survived to tell thetale, but this stunning photography book
provides a view of the battleeld as it must
have existed in 1876.
To create Where Custer Fell, authors James
S. Brust, Brian C. Pohanka, and Sandy
Barnard searched for elusive documents
and photographs, made countless trips to
the battleeld, and scrutinized all available
sources. Each chapter begins with a concise,
lively description of an episode in the battle.

Established in 1872, Yellowstone National
Park is the oldest and one of the largest
national parks in the world. In this
remarkable book, scientists Mary Meagher
and Douglas B. Houston present 100 sets of
photographs that compare the Yellowstoneof old with the park of today.
Most of the photo sets include three pictures
with many of the original views dating back
to the 1870s and 1880s. Meagher and
Houston rephotographed the scenes in the
1970s, and then, following the great res of
1988, again in the 1990s. The result is an
illuminating record of Yellowstones dynamic
ecosystem and its changes over time.

In words that are as clean and precise as his
haunting, starkly beautiful photographs,
John Martin Campbell vividly recreates the
life and times of the western homestead
era, the period from about 1885 when the
prairie lands lying west of the longitude ofthe western Dakotas became available to
pioneering farmers. More than 70 black-
and-white duotone photographs, with
detailed captions, record bleak landscapes
and abandoned farms, outbuildings,
farm implements, and hand toolsmute
testimonies to the failed hopes of several
million families who settled on these aridand semi-arid lands.
