Winter in the West

Winter is here. This selection of paintings from the Haub Family Collection celebrates the winter season with a juxtaposition of serene snow-covered landscapes alongside images of people living their lives in the cold. Winter in the West celebrates the resiliency and determination of the many inhabitants of the region during this cold and dark season.

Learn more about the Haub Family Collection in “Art of the American West: The Haub Family Collection at Tacoma Art Museum,” available in the TAM Store.  

Winter in the West  was organized by Tacoma Art Museum and made possible through the generous support of the Haub Family Endowment.
