Visions Underground - Carlsbad Caverns throught the Artist's Eye - September 11th through 26th
NEW BOOK AND EXHIBIT EXPLORES CARLSBAD CAVERNS AND ART
Who was the first artist to enter Carlsbad Caverns in 1924 and paint its wonders by
lantern light? It was Santa Fe's own Will Shuster, the creator of Zozobra. Some of
Shuster's Caverns paintings will be on exhibit along with other works by New
Mexico artists at Steve Elmore Indian Arts Gallery from September 11‐25.
The exhibit celebrates the release of a new book by Santa Fe resident Lois Manno,
entitled Visions Underground: Carlsbad Caverns through the Artist's Eye (Rio Grande
Books, Albuquerque). Visions Underground describes the role of artists in the
exploration and development of the national park from 1900 through today. A book
release party and opening will take place at the gallery from 5‐7 pm on Friday,
September 11. Gallery owner Steve Elmore grew up in Carlsbad, and his paintings
draw upon his experiences living in the Guadalupe Mountains and visiting its caves.
As Director of the Cavern Arts Project, Manno spent the last three years working
with National Park Service managers to mount an exhibit of the park's fine art and
photography collection in the newly renovated visitor center at Carlsbad Caverns.
Featured in the park's permanent collection are twenty‐five original prints by Ansel
Adams, who photographed at the caverns in the 1930s and 1940s. Adams found it to
be one of the most challenging experiences of his photographic career, comparing
the cave to working inside "an illuminated stomach." Please visit cavernsartproject.org for more information on this book and show.
