Lot # 58 - Original Art by Local Colorado Artist Robert Wands "View of Taos" ~ 11" x 9.5" Framed

Robert Wands was raised in the home of his artist father, the “Dean of Colorado landscape artists”, Alfred Wands, who taught him to paint “En Plein Air” from the age of 12.  Robert went on to receive his B.F.A. and M.A. in painting from the University of Denver with additional graduate work at Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Art Institute.  His master thesis dealt with “Atmospheric Conditions in Paint” and he became known as a cloud painter.  He also spent five years as a seasonal ranger in Rocky Mountain National Park, which added greatly to his interest in landscape painting.
