2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This work painted in 1927 depicts a landscape in California. The artist, Lester Gillette, frequently traveled there throughout his life to develop his artistic practice, though his business and farm were in Kansas. By the time he created "Desert Scene," he had retired in order to devote his time to painting across the US and abroad.
