Mildred Nungester (aka Mildred Nungester Wolfe)
American, 1912–2009
Small settlements were established and sustained in the mountainous environments of the West, more slowly transformed by exposure to the outside world because of the delays in development of communication and transportation. In these works the small settlements are distinctive—a church and a meeting hall proclaim that this is not just a small town but a community. The presence of the electrical supply poles signals that although the town looks as if it could have been built in the earliest days of settlement, it now boasts electrical transmission lines.
