“A new exhibition at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center makes a powerful case for a reconsideration of this modernist,” writes Denver Post art critic Kyle MacMillan in a review of Walt Kuhn: Imaginary History of the West, an exhibit on view at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Oct. 3, 2008–Jan. 4, 2009. “His zeal for the subject matter is obvious in the unashamedly romanticized vision and swashbuckling energy he brought to these depictions. Compared with much of Kuhn’s later output … these works are rendered with bright, fauvist-influenced colors and black highlights and loose, highly animated strokes. (D)on’t miss this long-overdue opportunity to see these modern masterworks.”
