☀️ Heat & humidity are synonymous with the #DogsDaysofSummer, so our #ObjectoftheMonth is this beleaguered bulldog at the beach facing off against a feisty crab! 🦀🐕 Charley Harper’s whimsical 1976 serigraph "Claws" is one of > 100 Harper works in our collection. (OSAC 00039)

Happy birthday to artist Thomas Moran born #OTD 1837. In accompanying 1872 Hayden Expedition & 1873 Powell Expedition, his artwork shaped public opinion about western lands. Two paintings (Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone & Chasm of the Colorado) are in @InteriorMuseum collection.
👇Asking our museum colleagues if anyone is familiar with this artist?👇Piece dated 1966 was likely a gift to what is now @Interior's Office of Insular Affairs. so the scene could be a Pacific island. Signature mostly illegible but includes name "Bonito." #foundincollection
