Kitty-

A photograph by Roger Minick immediately came to mind when I saw your question. It's entitled "Woman with Scarf at Inspiration Point, Yosemite National Park" (1980). It shows a woman wearing a scarf with a painting on it of the same view of Yosemite that she is looking at.

Well, it's not the Grand Canyon, and It doesn't have a View-Master in it, but it's a similar idea: an "actual" view of a nature scene, together with a touristy/kitsch
representation of the same view...

Lots of places to see this image online. One is courtesy of the J. Paul Getty Museum:

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Looking for info on art work


Dear collective wisdom,

While in grad school in the mid 1970’s I remember being shown a then contemporary artwork, a painting most probably,

depicting a girl or woman at the edge of the Grand Canyon who is looking at a picture of the Grand Canyon through a view master.

I would like to know who the artist was, and where I could find an image of this work of art.
