    Prescott Library Canyon Community Lecture Series

    Prescott Library Canyon Community Lecture Series

    Presented by Prescott Public Library at Prescott Public Library

    September 12, 2010

    In an era of dramatic social change and artistic fervor, Swedish-born painter Gunnar Widforss spent thirteen years creating an unrivaled body of work documenting the beauty of the American West. He painted with determination to capture his vision, but he died suddenly at the Grand Canyon at the age of 55. In his commitment to the truth and beauty of his subject, Widforss never resorted to sentimental or romanticized paintings, so prevalent in depictions of western subjects. He may be viewed as one of the greatest artists to paint the West, and his obscurity is a paradox. The Grand Canyon Association, KANU and the library partner to present these popular lectures.
