This series, The West of the Imagination, focuses on the illustrators, painters, and photographers of the American West, offering a stunning overview of their histories, actions, and especially their images. These artists created many Wests, underscoring the importance of the myth of the West in American history. Out of the awesome Western landscape and historic experience, the West lives on in the hearts of Americans. The 6th installment, Enduring Dreams, examines how the West has accommodated to change while remaining a mythical land of freedom and possibility. Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood have given way to Native American artists. Indians--once the subjects of painting--have become its practitioners. So the myth regenerates itself and the American consciousness and the American dream are reshaped and redefined.

When photography was in its infancy, the American West was still a frontier; and, for a period of about fifty years, the two interacted in a complex and fascinating way. Dramatic subject matter in the West became accessible to photographers just when the newly-discovered wet-plate process enabled them to work outdoors. Thereafter, Western explorers consistently used photography to record their discoveries. It was primarily through the resulting photographs that the frontier became known. Ironically, these early images hastened the demise of the frontier they so beautifully documented. LIGHT IN THE WES rediscovers this empire through the eyes (and camera lenses) of the extraordinary people who were the first photographers to venture west. At a time when making photographs was as difficult as traveling in uncharted wilderness, these men truly were pioneers.
