A native of Sweden, Gunnar Widforss trained as a muralist and became a painter of renown among the royal families of Europe. He traveled extensively, eventually visiting the United States, in 1921. His first stop was San Francisco. From there, he wandered America’s National Parks, settling at last in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon, where he found endless inspiration in the play of light over the geometries of the rocks.
