Abstract:
"This exhibition, the first retrospective of the artist's work, will include over 45 paintings and works on paper, including Denver's Long Jakes, "the Rocky Mountain Man," Deas' depiction of an 1840s American trapper. This exhibition of Deas' works will illustrate how the artist helped shape Americans' understanding of themselves and their country during the pre-Mexican War era."-- Denver Art Museum website.
