Highlighted works include a large oil sketch of the Oklahoma Land Run by John Steuart Curry, a celebrated regional painter from Kansas.
Other well-known artists featured are Woody Big Bow, a Kiowa painter from Yukon; Oscar Brousse Jacobson, a Swedish artist turned Oklahoma transplant known for his southwestern landscapes; and Nellie Shepherd, one of Oklahoma’s first professional female artists.
