Adolph Heinze
(1887 - 1958)
Chicago-born painter Adolf Heinze was commissioned by
the Great Northern Railway to create images of Glacier
park for brochures and posters.
He was also the only artist, except for Winold Reiss, to
illustrate the Great Northern Railway's famous calendars
in 1929.
Heinze studied with Karl Beuhr and William Merritt
Chase. He was a member of the All-Illinois Fine Artists
Association, Chicago Palette and Sculptors, and Chicago
Gallery Association, where he exhibited in 1927.
While working for Louis W. Hill's See America First
Campaign, he came west to experience the grandeur for
himself. He was photographed on the high ridges of
Glacier National Park painting his natural subjects, and
his paintings graced many a brochure and guide --
especially featuring the fabulous Red Busses and new
Prince of Wales Hotel above Canada's Waterton Lake.
Heinze also traveled to the Grand Tetons, and painted
for other National Parks, although he spent most of
career in the American Midwest. |
Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey
has taken the ancient art of Chinese silk painting and
made it her own.
She calls it the “jazz” of painting, a blend of color
and form rendered with liveliness and a practiced
knowledge of her medium, which she first observed on a
visit to Hawaii, and now renders with French dyes and
silks from all over the world.
Going To The Sun 2008 is Cawdrey's largest silk
painting to date, and was painted to celebrate the 75th
Anniversary of Glacier National Park's Going To The Sun
Road. Her whimsical panorama celebrates every iconic
rare flower or shy animal the traveler in a historic Red
Jammer might encounter on George Grinnell's Crown of the
Continent. |
