Friends of the Landscape:

Harrison Groutage and Associates

March 18, 2013 - January 31, 2014

Located in the Study Center drawers, this exhibition is composed of work by Harrison Groutage, Everett Thorpe, and Gaell Lindstrom. On February 5 of 2013, Harrison Groutage passed away at age 87 of kidney failure. Those who knew him said he was adventurous and saw beauty in everything. Friends of the Landscape is partially a commemoration of him and his artistic legacy at Utah State University. All three of these artists are former USU faculty and are known for their emotive paintings of Utah terrain. The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art is proud to hold this fine collection of creative and beautiful landscapes. Tied together by their love of Utah scenery as well as art education, Groutage's, Thorpe's, and Lindstrom's works complement each other and emphasize the inner complexity of a simple landscape.
