Experience the west through Charlie’s eyes

at the C.M. Russell Museum The C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, holds thousands of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and illustrations created by Charles M. Russell (1864–1926) from childhood through the end of his life.

In his work, Russell captured the landscapes, the spirit, and the culture of the West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. His artwork is part entertainment, part history lesson. The museum includes sixteen galleries along with Russell’s home and log studio.

Governor • MonTana Arts Council

Message from the Governor

Y

ou don’t have to visit many Montana art galleries or museums to realize that there is something truly inspiring going on here. Maybe it has something to do with the colors of a big sky sunset or the light reflecting off a half-frozen stream, or the ideas that have time to grow over the long winter nights.

But whatever the reason, as you explore the state, you will find that Montana has an incredibly rich culture and talented artistic community. You will find everything you expect from the West and much, much more. Our writers, artists, musicians, dancers and actors include those who bring their tribal traditions to their work, and others who draw their inspiration from growing up in the small towns and cities that dot Montana’s landscape.

Newcomers to all that Montana’s galleries, museums, bookstores and theatres have to offer can expect to be pleasantly surprised. And those of us who already know how vibrant our arts community is, can look forward to something new to rejuvenate our spirits.

-- Governor Steve Bullock

MONTANA’S CULTURAL TREASURES 2013-14

Montana Historical Society the State capitol is Russell’s acclaimed mural “Lewis and Clark Meeting the Indians at Ross’ Hole.” Our exhibits include paintings and sculptures from other famous artists. If you love art, you will love your visit to the Montana Historical Society.

We are much more than an art and history museum, though. You can also take advantage of our Research Center that has been praised and used by people like film maker Ken Burns and authors like Ivan Doig – as well as by people who just want to learn more about Montana or do some family history research. We also are home to the State Historic Preservation Office, the Montana Historical Society Press that produces the award-winning “Montana The Magazine of Western History,” and the Outreach and Interpretation program. Our staff enjoys talking with travelers and helping them find their way to the other special places in Montana. Visit our website at www. montanahistoricalsociety,org or call us at 1-800-243-9900 to learn more.

So enjoy Montana and visit our museums and galleries. We have history worth celebrating. Come celebrate with us.

MonTana Historical society

T

he magnificence of the Montana landscape has inspired legendary artists like Charles M. Russell and E.S Paxson and countless others down to today.

In Montana we cherish their vision and proudly show it off in our wonderful museums and art galleries statewide.

The Montana Historical Society was established in 1865 by one of the first acts of the Montana Territorial Legislature. We are the oldest such institution west of the Mississippi, and the people who have lived here have always known that we have history worth celebrating.

Regardless of what brings you to Montana, your picking up this publication shows that you have an appreciation for art and history. In addition to MHS Montana’s Museum located just east of the State Capitol in Helena, there are more than 200 other local museums across the state. We have more museums and galleries per capita than most other states.

I urge you to attend those you pass along your way. You will meet some interesting people and learn some new things about those who have called Montana home over the years.

At the Montana Historical Society we have one of the best collections of Russell art in the world including many of his masterpieces like “When the Land Belonged to God,” “Bronc to Breakfast,” and “Laugh Kills Lonesome.” Just across the street in

Montana’s Literary Treasures

10

A

nameless narrator discovers his connection to Blackfeet ancestors.

A Spanish American guide helps track down Chief Joseph’s people in the Bears Paw Mountains, then marries a Nez Perce woman. A gifted teacher works with her pupils in a one-room schoolhouse during World War II, suffering a series of traumas that help her mature. A pained lyric voice describes epiphanies in the small-town bars of Montana.

These are some of the many characters we meet in Montana literature, an astonishing archive of engaging writing, daunting challenges, and haunting insights. Whether it’s James Welch’s Winter in the Blood, Andrew Garcia’s Tough Trip through Paradise, Mildred Walker’s Winter Wheat, or Richard Hugo’s Collected Poems, these works immerse us in the lives, the experiences, the small victories of Montana’s diverse peoples.

Literature in the state has been remarkable from the start, as evidenced by native stories available in The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology and the personal narratives of Plenty-coups, Pretty Shield, and Lame Deer. We also have access to early accounts of white settlement, including Granville Stuart’s Forty Years on the Frontier, Nannie Alderson’s A Bride Goes West, and “Teddy Blue” Abbott’s We Pointed Them North. Making a living was never easy for our ancestors, yet writers show how humor, innovation, and grit can yield a sustaining life.

Second- and third-generation Montanans have extended this legacy of place-bound writing, translating founding tales into modern literature of distinction.

A.B. Guthrie Jr. calls into question the hunger, the ambition of American culture in The Big Sky and later novels.

D’Arcy McNickle dramatizes the lives of mixed-race and native characters in The Surrounded and Wind from an Enemy Sky, showing how an in-between status can lead to tragedy. Joseph Kinsey Howard famously declares in Montana, High, Wide and Handsome that our state has been “the cracked end of the whip” yielded by eastern financiers, politicians, and boosters. Ivan Doig has revisited many of the defining experiences of

Montana history, locating characters on late-nineteenth-century ranches, the Fort Peck Dam, and (most famously) the sheep ranges of central Montana. And Norman Maclean shows that fly fishing can become the vehicle for meditation on matters familial and theological.

These male stories have their vital counterpart in brilliant writing by Montana’s women, whether we think of Mary Clearman Blew’s searing account of homesteading in All But the Waltz, or Deirdre McNamer’s offbeat humor and unflinching honesty in novels such as Rima in the Weeds and Red Rover, or Debra Magpie Earling’s celebration of the ultimate survivor in her Native American novel, Perma Red, or Judy Blunt’s frank assessment of the ranching life in Breaking Clean.

And yet such a list barely does justice to the variety, the exuberance, the daring of Montana writing. We should not neglect our poets, ranging from the cowboy art of Wally McRae and Paul Zarzyski to the exquisite sensory precision and verbal craft of Greg Pape, Sandra Alcosser, Rick Newby, Tami Haaland, Melissa Kwasny, and many others. And what of those outlandish “outlanders” who have helped us re-see Montana through their witty, often satirical lenses: Thomas McGuane, Jim Harrison, and Richard Ford? And let’s not forget the rediscovered Thomas Savage, both native son and acerbic outsider.

Readers can discover much more about this sustaining literary tradition in the critical works of William W. Bevis (Ten Tough Trips), Rick Newby and Suzanne Hunger (Writing Montana), Ken Egan (Hope and Dread in Montana Literature), and Brady Harrison (All Our Stories are Here).

Range far and wide in the literature of this place. You’ll discover many geographies of the heart, many ecologies of the spirit, many guideposts for hope in a tough, beautiful land.
