Dr. Emily Ballew Neff, Curator of American Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston For painters and photographers in the later decades of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, the American West was both “the great fact,” as writer Willa Cather described it, and artistic muse. This lecture will examine the significance of the West by American artists who sought to create a new aesthetic response to both space and place in this era of artistic innovation. Work by renowned artists such as Frederic Remington, Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams, Thomas Hart Benton, Dorothea Lange, and Jackson Pollock will be discussed alongside American Indian ledger drawings, Navajo sand paintings, and temperas of the Santa Fe Indian School.

Nostalgia, regret, and hope for better times (in this world or the next) were artistic themes of the 1930s. In that decade, the “brother duet” was the dominant form in country music.

Dailey & Vincent's impeccable arrangements and flawless performances cover everything from bluegrass gospel to the Statler Brothers, incorporating the best of traditional and modern bluegrass.

Of their album Brothers from Different Mothers, Dailey says, “We wanted to make the best quality bluegrass we could possibly make: the songs, singing, playing, and production.” There is music on this album that will
