Into the Sunset: Photography’s Image of the American West
This exhibition examines how photography has pictured the idea of the American West from 1850
to the present. Photography’s development coincided with the exploration and the settlement of the
West, and their simultaneous rise resulted in a complex association that has shaped the perception of
the West’s physical and social landscape to this day. For over 150 years, the image of the West has
been formed and changed through a variety of photographic traditions and genres, and this exhibition
considers the medium’s role in shaping our collective imagination of the West.
