\u201c\u2019National Geographic Greatest Photographs of the American West\u2019 represents the first time a photography exhibition of this magnitude has opened at so many U.S. venues simultaneously,\u201d says James McNutt, President and CEO of the National Museum of Wildlife Art<\/a> in Jackson Hole, Wyo.; McNutt is one of the exhibition organizers and a contributor to the book accompanying the exhibition. \u201cThe exhibition presents a powerful and nuanced portrait of the West over more than a century, and it\u2019s exciting that the medium of photography allows multiple openings across the country for greater impact in sharing the combined vision of such an important group of photographers.\u201d<\/p>\n
