David Nordahl (Born 1941) is active/lives in New Mexico, Minnesota.  David Nordahl is known for Super real frontier-Indian genre painting.

A painter in realist and luminist styles of 19th-century western frontier scenes, David Nordahl is especially interested in the culture of the Apache Indians and their confrontations with the United States military.  He grew up as a farm boy in Minnesota, and by age 13 was earning money as an artist for his portraits of local townsfolk and for religious drawings.  He also did silkscreen posters.
