Enduring dreams
Description
Through wars, depressions, and social upheavals, the West has accommodated to change while remaining a mythical land of freedom and possibility. The ghosts of the buffalos are still stirring. Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood have given way to Native American artists; Indians-once the subjects of painting-have become its practitioners. So the myth regenerates itself and the American consciousness and the American dream are reshaped and redefined.
