2024 post:
Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This 1946 painting is by noted Kansas artist Birger Sandzén. Born in Sweden, he immigrated to the US in 1894 after accepting a teaching position at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. He remained there for the remainder of his life, teaching and creating the expressive landscapes for which he became known. This one depicts the Kansas hill country in Graham County.
