Who knew that nestling in the sleepy heart of Springville is one of the largest collections of Russian art in the good old U.S. of A? Springville Art Museum, run by longtime director and Russian and Utah art specialist Vern Swanson, boasts enormous, sprawling canvases that celebrate social-issue narrative painting at its best. Swanson believes Utah’s artists, who tend to have a more relaxed dedication to landscapes, can only benefit from the Russian masters. While it’s hard to see any cross-fertilization between communist agit-prop and a splendid Timpanogos landscape, it’s fun to imagine.
