Doug Watson, Ph.D., in the persona of Thomas Gilcrease, discusses several of the early artists/explorers in the Gilcrease Museum collection, some of whom chose to join in the adventure of the West and others to record its passing. They set off from St. Louis to see the Trans-Mississippi world of native species and peoples. What they saw translated into the images they composed for their Eastern audiences. These perspectives still define many of our viewpoints of that historic time. For more information, contact Deborah Burke at 918-596-2768, or e-mail deborah-burke@ utulsa.edu.
