About the Artist: Watson Bidwell
Watson Bidwell, a talented mid-century modern artist from Kansas, developed his artistic foundation at the University of Denver, where he earned a BFA in 1934. He later earned a Master's in Education from Colorado State College. Throughout his career, Bidwell studied under notable artists such as BJO Nordfeldt, Walt Kuhn, and John E. Thompson, who shaped his artistic vision.
Bidwell's career also included serving as the Curator of Oriental Art at the Denver Art Museum from 1936 to 1939. After his military service in World War II, Bidwell transitioned into education, taking on the role of Head of the Art Department at East High School in Wichita. He returned to Colorado in 1957, where he continued to create and teach until his passing in 1964.
Bidwell’s work reflects the bold abstraction and vibrant color palettes that defined much of the mid-century modern movement. His pieces remain an important part of American abstract art history, demonstrating both technical skill and creative innovation.
