6/25/17 review of Denver Art Museum show The Western: An Epic in Art and Film

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Denver Art Museum exhibition The Western: An Epic in Art and Film.

The thread gives a summary of and some context on the exhibit. It discusses and gives pictures of work by artists including Kent Monkman, D.H. Koerner, Andy Warhol, and Frederic Remington. The thread actually has a lot of discussion of Remington's works. The thread criticizes the show for being very uneven and for taking too many Western themes at face value. It discusses some interesting dialogues between film clips and other works of art. It also compares the show to other shows and other works. I probably went a little overboard in the comparisons.
