Olaf
Wieghorst
The Dean of
Western Artists
|
 |
|
| Olaf
Wieghorst (1899-1988) was
born in Viborg, Denmark, son of a Danish photographer
and film animator. He was known as the "Dean
of Western Artists" and placed in a class with
Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Olaf was at
one time an acrobat, trick rider, cavalryman, cowboy,
mounted policeman, and one of the greatest western
artists ever. His experiences as a cowboy and horseman
give truth and reverence to his work. Olaf Wieghorst
created his art not only with a skillful hand and
eye, but with a skillful heart. |
