With a title that refers to San Antonio’s location on the 98th meridian and the start of the American West, the visually stunning, large-format, limited-edition 212-page book features 50 of the Briscoe’s most iconic works. Documenting and detailing each art and artifact included, the book shares works that represent the pillars of Western art – cowboys, Native Americans, the landscape, animals and plants that define the west, and in a nod to the Briscoe’s South Texas home, vaqueros.
A captivating exploration of the iconic beauty and spirit of the American West shared through Western art, “The West Starts Here” documents both historical and contemporary works that form the basis of the museum’s growing collection.
