    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.

    Banks Wilson thinks of himself chiey as

    a lithographer. Lithography, he says,

    is what made an artist of me. The 118

    lithographs collected here, each reproduced

    from an original print in the artists owncollection, represent fty years of experience

    in the medium.

    True to the American regionalist tradition

    that inuenced him, Wilson has used

    his own surroundings as subject matter,

    producing an intensely personal record of

    his own time and placean Oklahoma of

    varied landscapes and of farmers, cowboys,

    miners, and Indians. The prints reproduced

    here are a representative sample of Wilsons

    long and prolic career in lithography.

    Bill and Dorothy lived their passion for

    the West, among other ways, through art.

    Beginning in 1967, they built a collection

    that broadly encompassed the American

    West. They bought works by recognized

    masters of American western art such as

    George Catlin and Ernest L. Blumenschein,

    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

    Many who ventured into Colorado in the

    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

    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

    traders affected Navajo weaving.

    Enhanced by numerous illustrations, this

    volume traces the intricate play of cultural

    and economic pressures and personal

    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

    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.

    In 1896, a young easterner named Walter

    McClintock arrived on the Blackfeet Indian

    Reservation. A forest survey had brought

    him to Montana, but a chance encounter

    with a part-Blackfeet scout led him insteadto a career as a chronicler of Plains Indian

    life. McClintock is now well known as the

    author of two books about his experiences

    among the Blackfeet, but only a few of his

    photographs have ever been published.

    This volume features biographical and

    interpretive essays about McClintocks

    life and work and presents more than onehundred of his little-known images.

    When the U.S. government incarcerated

    120,000 Japanese Americans as domestic

    enemy aliens during World War II, most

    other Americans succumbed to their fearsand endorsed the connement of their fellow

    citizens. Ten relocation centers were scattered

    across the West. Today, in the crumbling

    foundations, overgrown yards, and material

    artifacts of these former internment camps, we

    can still sense the injustices suffered there.

    Placing Memoryis a powerful visual record of the

    internment. Featuring Todd Stewarts stunning

    color photographs of the sites as they appear

    today, the book provides a rigorous visual survey

    of the physical features of the camps.

    In 1878 the Northern Cheyennes left what

    is now Oklahoma, where they had been

    incarcerated, and began an epic journey

    back to their homeland. They suffered

    great losses, but a small group of survivors

    reached its destination in southeasternMontana in 1879 and eventually won the

    right to a reservation there.A Northern

    Cheyenne Album presents a rare series of

    never-before-published photographs that

    document the lives of tribal people on

    the reservation during the early twentieth

    centurya period of rapid change.

    For anyone interested in seeing a cultural

    transition chronicled in pictures and

    narratives, this book is a gold mine.

    On the rst weekend of every June, Gypsies in

    northern England honor a tradition more than

    three centuries old. Having traveled for days

    and dozens of miles in ornate wagons pulled

    by colorful short-legged horses called cobs,

    they converge on the township of Appleby tobuy and sell horses. This remarkable journey

    and its culminating celebration at Appleby

    Fair are seldom witnessed by outsiders to the

    Romani Gypsy culture.

    Hockensmith traveled as a guest of

    prominent Gypsy families on the back

    roads and highways leading to Appleby

    and recorded the drama of the gathering of

    people and horses as can be seen only from

    inside this guarded clan.

    Horses are an integral part of the American

    experience. They are so tied with the

    development of the nation and its psyche,

    it is impossible to imagine history without

    them. Yet prior to the arrival of Spanishexplorers in the 1500s, horses had been

    absent from North America for millennia. In

    this beautifully illustrated volume, celebrated

    equine photographer John S. Hockensmith

    reveals how the return of horses with the

    conquistadors both altered American

    Indian cultures and later supported

    the development of the United States.Gracing these pages are stunning full-color

    photographs of modern horses that carry

    the distinctive traits of their Spanish, Arab,

    and Barb forebears.

    When Oklahoma achieved statehood

    in 1907, the U.S. government declared

    Chickasaw titles to tribal lands null and

    void. The Chickasaw Nation was, in effect,

    legally abolished. Yet for the next sixty years,

    the Chickasaws struggled to regain theirsovereign identity, and eventually, in 1970,

    Congress enacted legislation allowing the

    Five Tribes, including the Chickasaws, to

    elect their own governing ofcers. In 1983,

    the Chickasaws adopted a new constitution

    for their nation.

    In Chickasaw Renaissance, Phillip Carroll

    Morgan proles the experiences of the

    Chickasaw people during this tumultuous

    period in their history, from the dissolution

    of their government to the resurgence of

    their nation.

    This collaborative work is an ode to the

    forty-sixth state, to its stereotypes and its

    surprises. Yet it is still a young and raw and

    evolving territory, a mosaic that morphed

    into a state just one hundred years ago.

    From the Native Americans who roamed the

    plains with the buffalo to the cowboys who

    came with the cattle, from the oil barons to

    the outlaws, the settlers and Sooners, the

    proud African Americans who believed this

    was their Paradise Found, and all the others

    who came to make a new life in this territory,

    all together form the very center of the

    United States. They are depicted here in 350

    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
