The Ruby Range, Nevada, 1879. Creator: Thomas Moran (American, 1837-1926)
The Ruby Range, Nevada, 1879. Moran is especially well known for his sweeping views of remote areas in the American West. A gifted watercolourist who was deeply influenced by J. M. W. Turner, Moran found a realistic equivalent for the Englishmans art in the strange hues of the mountains of Wyoming and Nevada, the bubbling springs and vaporous geysers of Yellowstone, and the fantastic rock formations of Arizona. Although he enjoyed dramatic effects, Moran did not exaggerate the spectacular landscapes of the West; watercolours such as Ruby Range are accurate even in their surprising palettes, achieving an almost visionary intensity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ruby Range, Nevada" as captured by the talented American artist Thomas Moran in 1879. Known for his breathtaking depictions of remote areas in the American West, Moran's work is a testament to his mastery of watercolor and his deep admiration for J. M. W. Turner. In this particular piece, Moran skillfully translates the Englishman's artistic style into the vibrant hues found within Wyoming and Nevada's mountains. He also captures the ethereal beauty of Yellowstone's bubbling springs and geysers, as well as Arizona's fantastical rock formations. What sets Moran apart is his commitment to accuracy; even though he enjoys dramatic effects, he refrains from exaggerating the already spectacular landscapes of the West. "The Ruby Range" exemplifies this approach with its surprising palette that achieves an almost visionary intensity. The colors are both unexpected yet true to nature, creating a sense of wonder and awe in viewers. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Thomas Moran's exceptional talent and his ability to transport us into these remote corners of America through paintbrush strokes. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered and appreciated for their natural beauty.
