Comment on A “Burning Controversy” Around the Bonanza Map by luckygrrr

Well, the map we have hanging in the gallery is also framed. It might be the original. One would have to check. But when I was talking with Mr. Cumming, he led me to believe that probably many copies were made of the original, to serve many different purposes.

I noticed in an episode recently that the map of the Ponderosa was framed and hanging behind Ben’s desk in his study. It appears larger than dimensions I have read about; was it the original? The colors were very rich.

I am glad to hear about how the West inspires you. Will you be able to join us for the 2012 edition of the Masters of the American West show?

Mr Situ and Mr Liang have been inspired by different aspects of the American West into drawing and painting them after their living in the US. A whole lot of people in the rest of the world, who have never been to the US or been there only fleetingly, have been equally deeply inspired by the American West, its history, geography, its flora and fauna, and most of all its people, both its natives and the varied types of settlers who have come from all corners of the world to make a living there and their inter-relationships over time besides the attractions and travails of their day to day lives. As genre drawing and painting goes, the American West genre is in someways unique because of the uniqueness of its locale and people and their way of life besides being topical today with global concerns of ecology and environment, climate change, resource use vs pollution, settlement vs expropriation of natives in new lands, inter-racial relations and above all the timeless beauty of the land. As an artist of sorts, I have drawn and painted Western subjects during my younger days. I am now 63.

I’d like to see more of Bradley’s. American-Indian culture is so much alive here. Thanks for this post.

You are right, it was mistaken on the blog entry, although it was correct on the Autry website. I don’t know how that slipped through the cracks. I am sorry you missed the show. My apologies.

Comment on Language as Something More Than Just Words by las artes

But how do you make a film about language; that was her challenge, Makepeace says. Words, grammar, linguistics – these are not usually the ingredients for compelling filmmaking.

You should really get your facts straight when publishing an article. The exhibit actually only ran until January 8. We planned a whole trip revolving around this date: January 9… Nothing. The Autry isn’t even open on Mondays.
