Pikes Peak America’s Mountain: 3 Volume Set

$80.14

Description

For nearly fifteen years, landscape painter Jack Denton set up his easel towards Pikes Peak and painted. The result is 300 oil paintings ― now collected in this stunning three-volume hardcover boxed set ― capturing America’s Mountain through every season, every light, and every mood.

Each volume presents 100 full-page paintings accompanied by the artist’s own notes, offering an intimate window into Denton’s process and his deep connection to this iconic landmark. From the dusty sunshine of summer mornings to the nebulous fog of winter ridges, no two paintings are alike ― and no single subject has ever been rendered with this depth and devotion by a single artist.

As a boxed set, released in 2026, the year of America’s 250th celebration, the series carries special significance as a tribute to the mountain that inspired Katherine Lee Bates to write America the Beautiful. Denton’s work hangs in the Hunter Museum of American Art and in private collections worldwide. With 33 solo exhibitions since 1974 and a studio in Garden of the Gods at the mountain’s base, he brings unparalleled authority to this subject.

About the author

Jack Denton is a landscape painter whose career has spanned multiple decades and has brought him to exhibit his artistic talents and love for his subject matter across the world. Having lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee for 57 years, Jack first visited Colorado Springs in 2012, to which he found himself in awe of the majesty that is Pikes Peak. What followed was Jack's westward migration to establish a studio in Garden of the Gods, right at the base of the mountain. Jack has been painting the beauty of Pikes Peak for ten years now and continues to be awestruck by the everchanging sights, shadows, and seasons of America's mountain. Capturing the graceful yet powerful ridges, caverns, and valleys along Pikes Peaks landscape, Jack brings his collection of paintings on this subject to 200 with the showcase in this book.
