A special Virtual Exhibit opens online November 20th at http://www.davidcookfineart.com
Birger Sandzen - Iceberg Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado - 1930
(from the press release:)
Ninth annual Colorado & the West exhibition, featuring over one hundred fifty paintings, watercolors, drawings and prints by
important artists of the west from the 19th through the mid 20th century
This year’s show will be highlighted by our largest selection to date of oil and watercolor paintings by Charles Partridge Adams, three great Colorado paintings by Birger Sandzén and a group of rare large works by early Colorado artist, W.H.M. Cox. These will be complemented by traditional, Impressionist, and Plein-Air landscapes by other notable western artists including Joseph Henry Sharp. The show will also be emphasizing modernist works by artists including Eve Drewelowe, Ethel Magafan, Fred Shane and Vance Kirkland.
The majority of the artists featured held associations with prominent western institutions and groups including the Broadmoor Academy, Chappell House, Taos Founders, as well as the Santa Fe Art Colony. We will again break slightly from our focus on pre 1950’s works with the inclusion of some exceptional paintings by William Sanderson.
