Explore Cultural Topics and Expressions of the West at the Briscoe Museum through September 1, 2019
The Briscoe Western Art Museum (Texas) is pleased to present “Into a New West,” a summer contemporary art exhibition featuring nearly 50 works of art on loan from the Booth Museum of Western Art. Exploring cultural topics such as the environment, feminism, and social commentary, this exhibit showcases a shift from traditional representations to new ideologies and expressions of the West.
“The Briscoe is excited to share these groundbreaking works from the Booth Museum with the city of San Antonio and its visitors,” said Liz Jackson, vice president of the Briscoe Western Art Museum. “The exhibition will resonate with audiences across generations by exploring universal themes presented in a new light.”
Open to the public through September 1, 2019, museum-goers will enjoy an exciting exhibition of Western contemporary art ranging from the 1960s to the present. The works challenge the conventions of representation that hallmark traditional Western art and engage audiences with the culture of the present day.
