World Premiere: An Artist at Work

The Booth Museum is pleased to announce the opening of the Kenneth M. Freeman Exhibition: An Artist at Work. Located in the Temporary Exhibition Gallery, the show consists of fifty oil paintings and sculptures that feature working cowboys and cowgirls, rodeo heroes, Native American elders and children, mountain men, Western landscapes, and Buffalo Soldiers.

In addition to the 50 paintings and sculptures of Kenneth Freeman, the exhibition also incorporates a re-creation of his studio complete with easel and artifacts which show the process Freeman used to create his artwork. There is also a section on Freeman, the illustrator, showcasing a display of book covers and posters including ‘Fallon’ by Louis L’Amour, and a special section on the Buffalo Soldiers.

On January 16, a Members Only Reception will be held at the Museum. Members may view An Artist at Work and enjoy refreshments in the Café. At 7:00 p.m., Curator Bonnie Adams will present a lecture on Freeman's artistic career in the Booth Theatre.
