Denver is as modern a city as you’ll find in the U.S. Tech companies and start-ups flourish here. It has a young and growing population and an evolving food and art scene. And that’s not to mention the thriving marijuana and microbrew industries.
That all makes it a little hard to remember that this was a cow town founded in the mid-19th century during the short-lived Pikes Peak Gold Rush. An exhibit this summer at the Denver Art Museum paid homage to that legacy. “Westerns” celebrated the West as it has been portrayed in painting, film and sculpture.

There’s some legacy in all of us, when we look at cowboys! Beautiful images, Ken.

This looks like a nice collection of Western art, a mix of styles. Your photos do a good job of capturing the pieces. I saw a number of Remington pieces at the museum in Wickenburg, Arizona.
