This Week in the West: Robert Lougheed
🤠This Week in the West
🎙️Episode 30: Robert Lougheed and Prix de West
📢 Episode Summary:
In this episode of This Week in The West, we pay tribute to Western artist Robert Lougheed on the anniversary of his passing in 1982. Known for his authentic depictions of animals and landscapes, Lougheed’s legacy lives on through his contributions to both commercial illustration and fine art—most notably, his pivotal role in founding the Prix de West Art Invitational at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Listeners will hear how his experiences on ranches like the Bell in New Mexico and his insistence on painting from life shaped a career that bridged tradition and innovation.
The episode traces Lougheed’s journey from a farm in Ontario to the studios of New York and the open plains of the American West. Along the way, it explores his influence on generations of Western artists, the continued relevance of his philosophies on art, and his impact on one of the country’s most prestigious Western art exhibitions, opening June 6 in Oklahoma City.
