Our exhibition, The Cinematic West: The Art That Made the Movies, explores how artists like Charles Russell and Frederic Remington influenced early Western film directors. Since then, many novels have inspired Western film, too, including George Stevens’ adaptation of Edna Ferber’s Giant. Her 1952 book was both popular and controversial, exposing racism and corruption in 1950s Texas.
