...like to think of Colorado Springs as "the Boston of the West," were to hear Albert Spalding fiddle, watch Martha Graham dance, hear Soprano Eva Gauthier sing. There was also art to be seen: indigenous paintings of the Southwest and a loan collection of Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, Leger.
