Western Art
Depicting the settling of the American West through paintings has
been a time-honored practice since artists arrived in these vast
territories. Showing the Native Americans, cowboys, horses and the
land, has left a historical record that contemporary artists can
reference to capture the romance, struggle, and excitement that
existed west of the Mississippi. As western history continues to be
discovered, there are more stories, situations, and emotions that
artists can convey to a public that will appreciate these visual
representations. With his skill at the easel Dietz follows this
tradition, bringing the historical aspects of the western heritage
to life on canvas.
