On loan from the Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas this exhibit features a collection of aquatint engravings recording the Indian people and their culture in the mid 1800s by Swiss Artist Karl Bodmer. Bodmer was born in Switzerland and studied art in Paris. In 1832 he was asked to be the artist for the German Prince Maximilian's expedition across the American West. The artist was commissioned to make detailed illustrations of the life, habits, and customs of the Indians. Bodmer is known for his careful observation and attention to detail.

The museum will be exhibiting part of its Permanent Collection, a group of works by Lubbock artist Ken Dixon. On display will be 6 large, multi-panel pieces, which constitute part of a portfolio of the artist’s work that was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts Mid-America Fellowship in Painting in 1986. In 2004 the artist offered this work to the museum as a gift. Working on watercolor paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion, Dixon combines photography, painting and drawing to produce these mixed media monoprints.
