According to Sharon, "This collection is about spaces defined by horizons. My father loved to play with the visual tension between sky and earth. The infinite quality of the horizon, and the space defined by it, creates calmness. But sometimes a foreboding foreground-forms such as large arches, canyons, and curves- creates uncertainty. To me, the paintings are visual encouragements to move forward in spite of our fears."

The show represents a variety of styles adopted by Englehart during his long career. He is best-known for his huge, luminous landscape paintings in vivid colors that evoke the inner spirit of the Four Corners and the Colorado Plateau. The paintings offer new insight into Englehart the man.

The book Stanton Englehart: A Life on Canvas is available in the museum's gift shop. It features many color images and includes a DVD about the artist.

The exhibit will be on display from December 6, 2009 - March 27, 2010. For more information visit the Anasazi Heritage Center website at: http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ahc.html
