2012 | Best Highbrow/Lowbrow Art Mix

William Havu, the director of his namesake gallery, came up with a frothy confection last summer that celebrated serious artists taking a lighthearted approach to subject matter.

For 150 years, artists from around the world have come to Colorado to record its majestic mountains in paintings, prints and photos. And while the Rockies are certainly the most dramatic element of our landscape, some artists have instead focused ... More »
