Exhibition presently on display at the Estes Park Museum.  Estes Park celebrated the arrival of Swedish artist, Birger Sandzen (1871-1954), in 1925, when he helped establish and teach for a branch of Denver's Chapell School of Art.

Sandzen was fascinated by the challenges of depicting the beautiful local landscape and would continue to summer and sketch in Estes Park until his death in 1954.  Discover how the renowned artist, often referred to as "America's Van Gogh," inspired the community of Estes Park artists with his enthusiasm for art enrichment.  The temporary exhibit, "Sandzen in Estes Park," will feature paintigns and graphic works of the mountainscapes for which the artist became so well known.
