Detailed Product Description
2011, 1st edition. The Wymong artist Joe Arnold's work shows the mountaineer's perspective, often from the summit looking down into the plains below. This kind of view is vast and epic, akin in feeling to the Romantic artists such as Joseph Turner and the Hudson Bay painters such as Bierstadt and Moran. 19th Century writers, explorers, mountaineers and surveyors also had this vast and epic concept of the land. Contemporary work often shows the loss of that innocent, idyllic, and even rapturous vision, but in his mountaineering, and subsequently in his art he is still searching it out.
 
Arnold's work has been displayed at the American Alpine Club's Mountaineering Museum in Golden Colorado, and art galleries in Colorado and Wyoming.
 
He has approached this subject in a number of ways that try to convey something almost impossible to put on a flat surface. Quite often he has used a wide-angle panoramic approach that includes a slight curve to indicate that the scene surrounds the viewer. Most recently he has been working up a diorama that comes out from the wall at the edges and literally does surround the viewer. When focusing on space dropping down below your feet he tends to use a more traditional format.

His paint handling is informed by 30 years of working en situe. In large studio works he tries to recapture the freshness and excitement found in plein air pieces done under duress, often in extreme conditions and locations.

Now available: a collection in book form of Joe's best Teton mountaineering on-site works and studio paintings. They are arranged by elevation so that the reader sees the views and sites one would see in making an ascent in the Tetons. Combined with quotes by mountaineers, artists, poets and philosophers, it's a marvelous portrait of the high peaks. New large format paperback, in full color.
 
SIGNED by the artist Joe Arnold.
