AMWA After Hours --AMWA and the Art of the Railroad
By the 1880s, thousands of people were traveling west on the transcontinental railroad to seek their fortune and experience a vast new world. The visual arts played an important role in promoting tourism from the Eastern U.S. to the rural lands out West. Railroad companies commissioned and collected art depicting distinctly Western subject matter to promote train tourism. Using Western landscape paintings, advertisements promised breathtaking views through a train window. Portraits of Native Americans and cowboys on horseback enticed people to use the train as a bridge from crowded industrialized cities to naturally beautiful places full of excitement and opportunity. Join AMWA staff for this virtual program as we take a tour through the paintings in AMWA’s collection that were once owned by the Santa Fe Railway and the Great Northern Railroad. All aboard!

AMWA Up Close: Emil Bisttram, "Arizona Landscape"
I will always hate what the artists did to new mexico. Making us popular with the worst of old white people. These artists helped usher in all the fake new mexico stuff that brought the old white people here who killed the soul of this place. Young white people could save it but they don't fall for this garbage
Viewedthe exhibition on Friday again. Cannot say enough about the depth and dynamism of this collection. A real gem that I think we should be proud in colorado to have. One thinks about as you are traveling around the exhibition is there anything missing?. And a thought that came to me was the absence of any works by Ed Borein of Santa Barbara, California. notably, one of the greatest artists of cowboy subjects that has lived in the US. There’s one painting by James Walker representing the cowboy tradition that grew out of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, theVaquero. . And adding work by Borein would supplement that representation. I hope you consider adding at least one work by him in the future . my best regards and respect ,daniel geary lone tree, antiques, and fine art.
Mabel is an amazing woman. The vlogger here has gathered some good info, but she's an amateur at delivery etc....the result is a disappointing report.
Thank you!
I think the narrator should slow down and add more lively expression and pauses to her delivery so it sounds like the wonderful story that this is.. This material deserves more than reading a script, and perhaps practice would eliminate the mispronunciations and add more depth to the story.
Thank you very much.
Very interesting presentation. I have lived here for my whole 50+ years and had never heard of the Navarre Building before. I thought i knew about all of the historic buildings downtown. I'll be seeing you soon. How much is admission please? Thank you.
