The Last Glacier

Todd Anderson American
2015
Not on view
The Last Glacier is both an artistic response to and historical record of changes affecting the dramatic peaks and valleys found at Glacier National Park. The book reflects an effort to document and respond to climate-related topographical changes and the site’s disappearing glaciers, which the United States Geological Survey predicts will vanish by 2020. In style and technique, the artists reveal influences such as Japanese ukiyo-e prints and landscapes realized in a variety of media by nineteenth-century European and American artists.
