Description: "The rugged land of Texas' Big Bend region is legendary. Towering mountains, austere desert, canyons, and rivers converge in a place of beauty, loneliness, and adventure. Fort Worth artist Dennis Blagg began painting landscapes from the Big Bend twenty years ago. His breathtaking, near-photographic portraits of this remote mountain desert are as big as the landscape itself - some paintings are ten feet wide and four feet tall.".

"For this book, Blagg has chosen fifty of his most powerful color paintings and twenty striking black-and-white drawings. Blagg's brief commentaries on each work offer insight into both the art and the land it captures. Ron Tyler of the Texas State Historical Association has contributed an introductory essay on the Big Bend."--BOOK JACKET.
