The Grand Canyon by Gunnar Widforss is a focal artwork in the Arizona section of SMoW’s latest exhibition -- By Beauty Obsessed: Gilbert Waldman Collects the West. It is perhaps one of the artist’s largest oil on canvas renditions of this iconic geological feature -- one of the seven wonders of the world. Grand Canyon National Park was established in 1919, making this year the Grand Canyon’s 100th anniversary as a national park. This majestic artwork (c.1930) captures the extraordinary beauty of the canyon and helps SMoW and its guests celebrate Arizona’s own Grand Canyon, the 17th official national park in America.
