Our
Exhibitions and Collections (formerly Conservation) group had
a
tour of the
newly opened Seventh Floor. The entire floor of the
North
Building is now devoted to
Creating the West in Art and will remain that
way
with rotating
pieces from our permanent collection and with pieces on
loan.

Jakes, the Rocky Mountain Man
Charles
Deas
Oil on canvas,
1844
Charles Deas
established the mountain man as an icon of the American
West.
Before there
were cowboys, trappers were the heroes of the American
West.
This was also
one of the first paintings to use the Rocky Mountains as a
setting.
Many of the
windows on the seventh floor had to be screened
to protect
paintings from the light. This one remains uncovered
so the
capitol dome may be seen. (Poor picture.)
The Road
to Santa Fe
Theodore Van
Soelen
Oil on
canvas, 1948
This is so
typical of a Santa Fe day with the sun shining
in the
foreground and a swift storm moving in from the hills.

* A repeat
When the sabbath was over, Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they
might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the
sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who
will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked
up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back.
As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting
on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be
alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been
raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his
disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see
him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror
and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were
afraid.
