Kent Monkman

Has a show of 41monumental works on display at the Denver art Museum through August 17, 2025.

The link is to a gallery of paintings.


I don't usually care for representational work, but Monkman's so perfectly parodies the Bierstadts, Morans, and Hans Wholebines I had to mention him.

But don't get me wrong, as far as I'm concerned, it's trash art. Nicely executed, but one look and you've seen it; nothing subtle; no reason to look again.

Still, I laughed.


I like this one

  1. Maybe one long look. There's a lot going on there. In fact, it's a little overwhelming.
