Label, Zaplin Lampert Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Rock of Acoma, New Mexico will be included in Stephen Good and Phyllis Braff’s forthcoming Thomas Moran Catalogue Raisonné.
Moran historian Carol Clark wrote, “Moran’s Western canvases and watercolors depicted areas of great significance to the American public; they conferred historical legitimacy to a land lacking human associations and presented a stage for the unfolding drama of a nation’s future. Moran’s American landscape could also rise in status by association with historical themes. As America viewed her land, especially the West, as part of a natural historical past destined to determine a great future, Americans began to accept landscape painting in oil and watercolor as an integral and formative element of this destiny.”
