"West of the Rio Grande" is a 2018 painting by Mark Maggiori, depicting two cowboys on horseback traversing a rugged landscape under a dramatic, looming cloud. The scene evokes the traditional imagery of the American West, capturing the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the region's history. The painting's realistic style and meticulous detail are reminiscent of the American Regionalist movement, a popular artistic trend in the early 20th century.
