A set of 25 block prints by lost Utah artist Everett Ruess will be on view at the Art Gallery at the Rose Wagner Center in coordination of the world premier of Plan-B Theatre's play, 'The End of the Horizon.' In 1934, Ruess, a twenty-year-old artist and writer, mysteriously disappeared near Escalante, Utah. While traveling through the backcountry of Utah, he recorded his travels through wood block prints, essays, and poems. Since his disappearance, Ruess has emerged in Utah folklore as a mythic icon - the embodiment of the wilderness he revered and respected. The prints on view are from the last five years of Ruess' life. They portray a variety of natural scenes and chronicle his travels along the California coast, high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and among the deserts and canyons of Arizona and Utah. The exhibition includes two photographs, two Lino Blocks, and a poem by Ruess as well.
