Then and Now

Additional Information

Few images in Western art are as iconic as a rain-soaked cowboy in a yellow slicker. And no artist was linked to that timeless imagery more than James Reynolds, the California-born painter who first worked in illustration and then in Hollywood before turning his attention to Western art. Then and Now has another Reynolds hallmark: delicate light conveyed in sumptuous brushstrokes. Whether it was a gloomy monsoon, fading sunlight raking across the desert floor, snow scenes in the high mountains or high noon at a cattle drive, Reynolds was a master at showing the brilliance of light.
