Painter Douglas Snow

V. Douglas Snow, Cockscomb Near Teasdale, 1985, courtesy the Springville Museum of Art collection, 1989.069

Most of us know the paintings of the artist Douglas Snow through his public installations - at the airport and the lobby of the Pioneer Theatre. His pieces are often shocking when you first come upon them and they prompt a strong reaction. That reaction must have delighted Snow, who never created his works to simply blend in. Doug Snow died in 2009 and a retrospective of his work has just opened in Salt Lake City. Friday, we're rebroadcasting our conversation with him about his connection to place. (Rebroadcast)

Final Light: V. Douglas Snow in Retrospect is a joint exhibit of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the Salt Lake Art Center. Snow's work will remain on display through January 8 at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and through October 22 at the Salt Art Center.
