On view in the Murdock Gallery until April 2010
 Private collector William I. Koch shares 11 choice selections from his private collection with Montana audiences. Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) was one of the French Fauves ("Wild Beasts"), painters whose exuberant works introduced a new freedom in form and color.
Dufy was often inspired by the French Riveria, but this painting is a view of another coastal playground: Deauville on the coast of Normandy. Alfred Jacob Miller (1810-1874) was one of the earliest artists working in the European tradition to travel to the North American West. He accompanied expedition leader William Drummond Stewart on a journey to the Rocky Mountains in 1837, drawing on this experience for the rest of his life to create works on canvas and paper. Charles Schreyvogel (1861-1912) was one of the most accomplished painters in the tradition established by Frederic Remington. Many of his works are dramatic Western military scenes, like this one from Mr. Koch's collection.
