Product Description
Watercolorist William Matthews has long been hailed as the preeminent painter of the American West. In this new collection of 180 staggering paintings, he captures the full range of western experience: endless skies, high plains, the last working cowboys, the Navajo the mystique of the Living Desert. Steeped in introspection and connected to land, tradition, and identity, Matthews' work evokes a place that is authentic, anachronistic, and dynamic. An essay by award-winning writer Annie Proulx provides insight into both the ranching and the art-making life, resulting in a glorious homage to this ancient terrain some of the last untamed wilderness in America.

I admit I was not familiar with William Matthews but I have a great interest in the American West and so I took a chance on this book. I was not disappointed.You can feel the cold of the winters and you feel a respect for the work of the men in his art. I am very pleased with this book.

When you think of watercolor do you think of lily ponds and washed out landscapes? William Matthews will change your mind.
Mathews expresses as much depth and strength in watercolors as anything I've seen in oils. His work is traditional without being cliche or boring.
A must have for your coffee table at the ranch.
