Power of Place: The Artwork of Helen McAuslan

Details

Collection SummaryThe Helen McAuslan Collection consists of drawings, paintings, collage, sculpture, and prints created by Helen McAuslan (American, 1895-1970). McAuslan was a modern artist who lived in Montana for several decades. She created art inspired by her life in Montana and her travels abroad. McAuslan was a contemporary of other renowned Montana artists including Jessie Wilber, Frances Senska, and Robert and Gennie DeWeese. While she was inspired by many cultures, the rugged beauty of the Rockies is what captivated McAuslan to relocate to Montana and convey that beauty through her work. The artwork in this collection explores McAuslan’s experience of Montana’s landscape and the beauty of the world.

The artwork in this collection was created by Helen McAuslan and donated to Museum of the Rockies by Helen Dornbusch. The digitization of McAuslan’s work was partially funded by a Cultural Trust grant awarded to Museum of the Rockies by the Montana Arts Council.
