Art lessons Pieces from the Salt Lake School District's collection on display
|
It is fitting then that the exhibit is at the MUAH, whose mission is to foster an awareness of, and excitement about, Utah art.
As in every exhibit, "A Century of Art" has a few weak pieces, but for the most part, the show is replete with fine works that will please even the most discriminating viewer.
Cyrus Dallin's 1899 bronze of "Paul Revere" (a replica of his original, which is in Boston) is an excellent example of the sculptor's talent; it is also positioned for best effect in the exhibit space.
Many viewers will be familiar with Minerva Teichert's painting "Soldier and Indian," due to its appearance in various printed publications, but to see it live is an immense pleasure. Witnessing her drawing technique and paint application makes any traveling to see this exhibit worth it.
J.T. Harwood's 1928 color etching "The Cascade" genuinely exhales mood; it is one of the finest works in the exhibit. And George Dibble's 1950 watercolor "Wasatch Mountains" is a confident abstract awash with vibrant color. It is highly accomplished.
