SHELDON STATEWIDE - Compact Rhythms
“Compact Rhythms,” an exhibition of artworks from Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, opens at the Prairie Arts Center on October 2.
“Compact Rhythms” highlights artists who have used abstraction to explore different ways of looking at the world around them. It presents a variety of modes and styles of nonrepresentational art throughout the twentieth century, focusing on instances where artists chose deliberately to work on a smaller scale.
The intimate scale of the featured works provides opportunities for close encounters with the art, allowing the viewer’s gaze to linger over the surface of the paintings and prints in order to observe the materials used and the forms depicted. The exhibition features works by artists Joseph Albers, Grace Hartigan, Alfred Henry Maurer, Joan Mitchell, Corita Kent, Seong Moy, and Sylvia Wald among others.
THANK YOU
NebraskaLand National Bank, Mike Jacobson, president and CEO, and the Art Study League of North Platte for sponsoring the Prairie Arts Center exhibition, which is on view through October 28.

TED LONG LEGACY ROOM
Step back in time—as you enter the Ted Long Legacy room at the Prairie Arts Center. This room is designed after Long's studio, an old log cabin that his great grandfather homesteaded in the 1800's. North Platte native and nationally known artist, Ted Long (1932-2007), is recognized as one of the foremost western artists in the country.
Long was energized by his love of the outdoors and the beautiful rustic surroundings of his North Platte studio. He dedicated his life to accurately portraying the legacy of the Old West, before he passed away at his home in 2007.
Long’s work is recognized worldwide and in private collections, galleries, museums and commercial settings. Actor John Wayne purchased Monarch of the Plains, a sculpture that depicts a buffalo attacking a pair of Native Americans on horseback. Wayne had placed a single stipulation on the purchase: Long must deliver it in person to Wayne’s residence in California. In 1987, Long presented President Ronald Reagan with The Last Farewell, a bronze of Buffalo Bill Cody.
Long's sketches, oil paintings and bronze sculptures in this room, tell a story about his passion for nature, history and the west.
