Ross Eugene Braught
1933 American Art Lithograph, Clear Creek Canyon by Ross Braught, Colorado

1933

About the Item

This striking original lithograph, Clear Creek Canyon I (Colorado), was created in 1933 by acclaimed American artist Ross Eugene Braught (1898–1983). A master of landscape and form, Braught was celebrated in his time as one of America’s finest draftsmen. This work is pencil-signed by the artist in the lower right margin and comes professionally presented in a custom archival frame. The overall framed dimensions are 26 ½ x 31 ½ inches; the image itself measures 16 x 23 inches. Depicting the dramatic terrain of Clear Creek Canyon in the Colorado Rockies, this lithograph captures the untamed beauty of a region known for its rich history and breathtaking vistas. Clear Creek winds through the mountainous terrain past towns like Georgetown, Idaho Springs, and Golden—once gold rush hubs and now popular destinations for hiking, rafting, and exploring nature. Created during the Great Depression, this piece reflects Braught’s deep connection to the American West. His bold, rhythmic style brings the rugged Colorado landscape to life, emphasizing its vastness, texture, and raw beauty. This work is part of a significant series inspired by Braught’s travels across the region, including other notable pieces like Colorado (1932). About Ross Eugene Braught: Braught studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later traveled extensively through Europe and the U.S., experiences that shaped his distinctive visual language. During the 1930s, he was based in Kansas City, where he produced some of his most celebrated lithographs and public murals, including the iconic Mnemosyne and the Four Muses at Kansas City’s Music Hall. His works are held in major museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Collectors prize his emotionally resonant depictions of the American landscape, which continue to captivate with their intensity and technical mastery.
