SUMMARY:The Lyrical Cowboy: Rhythms\, Rhymes and Rodeos
DESCRIPTION:HENDERSONVILLE\, Tenn. (September 8\, 2021) ? The Monthaven Arts &\; Cultural Center\n\n(MACC) gets back into the saddle again this fall with a breathtaking new exhibition of Western\n\nart. The exhibit\, titled The Lyrical Cowboy: Rhythms\, Rhymes and Rodeos\, will run Sept. 12 to\n\nOct. 24 and will feature familiar country music song lyrics grouped with nearly 50 of the most\n\nspectacular paintings\, watercolors\, statues and mixed media works from the renowned Booth\n\nWestern Art Museum in Cartersville\, Georgia. Some of artist Maria D?Souza?s strikingly original\n\nbeaded-skull artworks will round out the exhibition.\n\n?The MACC is incredibly honored to be presenting Lyrical Cowboy\, especially since the\n\nBooth Western Art Museum created this show specifically for our museum\,? says Cheryl\n\nStrichik\, the MACC?s executive director and CEO. ?Cowboys and country music go together like\n\nguitars and Cadillacs. So\, we can?t think of a better place for this show to debut.?\n\nThe idea for Lyrical Cowboy originated with the show?s curator\, Seth Hopkins\, the long-\n\ntime executive director of the Booth Western Art Museum. ?I have been thinking about the\n\nrelationship between country music and the American cowboy for a long time\,? says Hopkins.\n\n?The word ?cowboy? used to be a derogatory term\, but over the course of the past century the\n\ncowboy became a celebrated figure\, in large part because of country music. That inspired me to\n\n\n\npair some of my favorite country music lyrics with some of the finest examples of cowboy art\n\nfrom the Booth?s permanent collection.?\n\nWorks by such noted Western artists as Nelson Boren\, Buck Jones\, Dallas Anderson\, Ezra\n\nTucker\, J.E. Knauf and Carrie Ballantyne will be on exhibit\, with the lyrics of Garth Brooks\,\n\nGeorge Strait\, Dan Seals\, Willie Nelson\, Suzy Bogus and others complementing (and providing\n\ninsight into) the visual displays.\n\nHopkins notes that Lyrical Cowboy is not necessarily your grandfather?s Western art\n\nexhibit. ?It?s not just white guys with white hats on white horses\,? he says. Indeed\, Lyrical\n\nCowboy is remarkable for its diversity\, with images of cowgirls and cowboys of color occupying\n\na central part of the exhibition?s narrative.\n\nArtist Maria D?Souza?s singular creations are now included in the permanent collections\n\nof both the Booth Western Art Museum and Monthaven Arts &\; Cultural Center. D?Souza uses\n\nsemi-precious cabochons\, seed beads\, hand-tooled silver and leather\, patina copper\, and other\n\nmaterial to transform the skulls of elk\, antelope\, pronghorn and deer into colorful and intensely\n\nexpressive works of art. D?Souza will have 10 of her unique works on display at the MACC.\n\nThe Booth Western Art Museum\, located in Cartersville\, Georgia just outside Atlanta\, is\n\nthe world?s largest permanent exhibition space for Western art. At 120\,000 square feet\, the\n\nBooth is an architectural wonder ? designed to resemble a modern pueblo and constructed\n\nfrom Bulgarian limestone. The museum?s permanent collection of Western art\, Presidential\n\nportraits and letters\, and Civil War art allows visitors to ?See America?s Story? ? the land\,\n\npeople\, struggles\, dreams\, and legends ? in paintings\, sculpture\, photography and artifacts.\n\nMonthaven Arts and Cultural Center is conveniently located off Gallatin Pike just three\n\nmiles east of Rivergate Mall. The place serves as a haven for the arts\, hosting major art\n\nexhibitions throughout the year. It also offers classes and summer camps on art and film for\n\nchildren and adults. Monthaven Mansion is available to rent for weddings\, receptions\, showers\,\n\ncorporate team-building classes and private parties.
