tavla, painting is a 1910 paint by Gunnar Widforss, a American Impressionism work, held at ethnographic museum.
The painting shows a quiet Grand Canyon ridge named for the artist. Light hits the rocks at Oza Butte just before sunset. The sky glows pink behind deep canyon layers. This is one of many works Widforss made in the 1920s. He focused on national parks and used bold colors. His style feels fresh compared to older landscape painters. Look up Widforss, Gunnar to see more of his desert scenes.
