Is the horizon important in an artwork? Decide for yourself as we explore the American and Western American galleries of Phoenix Art Museum.
- Discover how moving the horizon (up or down, with a few surprises) impacts perception for the viewer.
- See how art developed and changed as artists moved from East to West in the United States, and gain information about the artists themselves.
- Learn how the portrayal of the Rocky Mountains, New Mexico and Arizona influenced migration, tourism and government policy.
