Behind the Sagebrush Curtain includes prints, drawings, paintings and ceramics by seven artists who were active in Montana and Idaho in the second half of the 20th century: Gennie DeWeese, Edith Freeman, Isabelle Johnson, Sara Joyce, Helen McAuslan, Frances Senska and Jessie Wilber. Working in a range of materials and styles, these artists were unified in their desire to marry the landscapes and subject matter of the American West with ideas and techniques that reflected their engagement with international modernism. Many of these women also served as teachers and mentors throughout their careers, influencing the work of younger artists in the Intermountain West for decades.
