David Nordahl

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.

Nordahl moved to Minneapolis where, with a friend, he established a business of doing murals, wall coverings and fabrics.  However, in 1973, he sold out to devote himself to his western easel painting featuring Apaches.   He and his wife, Lori, settled in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  However, he became flustered when he could find only a few books in the Denver library on the subject, so he decided to move to Santa Fe where he could be directly involved with the Apache Indians.  His goal is to simply tell the story of the Apache people   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2049 characters.]  Artist bio
