Shaping up to be the great-
est assembly of C.M. Russell
masterpieces in over a decade, this
exhibition explores the visual con-
nections to American and Canadian
western heritage and the role of
cultural performance in shaping
public memory. It examines the
period of World War I's immedi-
ate aftermath in the artwork of
Montana artist Charles M. Russell
at the 1919 Victory Stampede in
Calgary, Alberta.
100 years ago, a highlight of the
Stampede was a fine arts show
that featured paintings and bronzes
created over the course of the war
by C.M. Russell. The upcoming
exhibit in 2019 captures the same
spirit and social commentary about
the changing West that made the
original Stampede a milestone in
Russell's celebrated career.
