Birger Sandzen Art
American, 1871-1954
Birger Sandzén was encouraged from an early age to pursue his interest in art. Sandzén’s formal education began at the Skara School in Skara, Sweden at the age of ten. At Skara, he studied with Olaf Erlandsson who introduced the young artist to oil painting.
After graduating from Skara in 1890, Sandzén studied for a semester at Lund University in Lund, Sweden. The following year, he went to Stockholm intending to study at the Royal Academy. Due to a lack of vacancy, Sandzén instead studied with one of Sweden's best painters and etchers, Anders Zorn, as well as with Richard Bergh, and Per Hasselberg in what was later to become the Artists League. Early in 1894, Sandzén took a class taught by Aman-Jean, who introduced him to Pointillism. Sandzen used a Pointillist, or Tonalist, approach to painting in his work until around 1910.
Sandzén learned about an opening on the faculty of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas and immediately applied. He was hired by the college and relocated to Kansas in the fall of 1894. In 1899 he was appointed principal art teacher and head of the Art Department. Sandzén held both positions until his retirement in 1946.
Sandzén first visited the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in 1908 and began painting in the Colorado Springs area around 1916. The artist made his first trip to New Mexico in 1918 and was a frequent visitor to Santa Fe and Taos in the years that followed. Sandzén spent the summers of 1923-24 teaching at the Broadmoor Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado (presently the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center). He also taught at Chappell House (the forerunner to the Denver Art Museum), Utah State Agricultural College, Stephens College, the University of Michigan, and the Kansas City Art Institute. Though he traveled often, Sandzén continued to live in Lindsborg until his death in 1954.(Biography provided by David Cook Galleries)

Biography
Birger Sandzen (1871-1954)
Born Blidsberg, Sweden, Feb. 5, 1871; died Lindsborg, June 19, 1954.
Painter, specialized in landscapes. Etcher. Engraver. Lithographer.
Teacher. Attended the College and Academy of Skara as a pupil of Olof
Erlandsson.
After graduation from Skara College, Sandzén spent a semester at Lund
University attending art history lectures and continuing the study of
French. Following Lund University he went to the technical high
school at Stockholm, where he studied perspective and form drawing.
Sandzén joined a group of young artists and they rented a studio at
Anders Zorn's suggestion. They received instruction from Zorn as well
as Richard Bergh, a well-known portrait painter and Per Hasselberg, one
of Sweden's best sculptors.
Sandzén then went to Paris to study with Aman Jean, where he began to
associate with American students in the French studies. On
returning home in 1894, a family friend sent Sandzén a booklet about
Bethany College, Lindsborg and the town called "Little Sweden."
Sandzén moved to Lindsborg in 1894 to teach French, voice, art history,
drawing and painting at Bethany College where he remained on the
faculty until 1946.
He first painted in the Colorado Springs, CO area in 1916, and became a
frequent visitor to Santa Fe and Taos, NM beginning in 1918.
Sandzén spent the summers of 1923-24 teaching at the Broadmoor Academy
in Colorado Springs (presently the Colorado Springs Fine Arts
Center). Sandzén also taught at Chappell House (the forerunner to
the Denver Art Museum), Utah State Agricultural College, Stephens
College, the University of Michigan, and the 188 Kansas City Art
Institute.
Sandzén's style of painting is unusual in its thick and heavy
application of impasto in bold and bright color combinations,
interpreting the landscape of the western United States. He is
known for very colorful renderings of mountain lakes with boulders,
cypress and aspen trees and moonrises along waterways.
Sandzén was an important advocate for art in the region, spending time
talking to people about art, organizing exhibitions and establishing
art clubs. He donated artwork to the local art club to help raise money
for the purchasing of art books for the library, the financing of
exhibitions, and the occasional awarding of a scholarship.
He painted murals for the Halstead Post Office, Where Kit Carson Camped, in 1941, for the Lindsborg Post Office, Smoky River, in 1938, and for the Belleville Post Office, Kansas Stream, in 1939. He illustrated three books, With Brush and Pencil (1905), In the Mountains, (1925), The Smoky Valley, (1922).

“Tending the Sheep”
By Myles Birket Foster
Located in Southampton, NY
Beautifully executed original hand colored lithograph using gouache and watercolor. Scene in Surrey, England. Signedxwith monogram in plate lower left, Myles Birket Foster. Published by M. H. Long. Condition is very good. In original 2 inch wide birdseye maple antique frame with thick museum mat with gold innner edge. Overall 22 by 26 inches.
Biography
Myles Birket Foster (4 February 1825 – 27 March 1899) was a popular English illustrator, watercolour artist and engraver in the Victorian period. His name is also to be found as Myles Birkett Foster.
Life and work
Foster was born in North Shields, England of a primarily Quaker family, but his family moved south to London in 1830, where his father founded M. B. Foster & sons — a successful beer-bottling company. He was schooled at Hitchin, Hertfordshire and on leaving initially went into his father's business. However, noticing his talent for art, his father secured an apprenticeship with the notable wood engraver, Ebenezer Landells, where he worked on illustrations for Punch magazine and the Illustrated London News.
On leaving Landells' employ, he continued to produce work for the Illustrated London News and the Illustrated London Almanack. He also found work as a book illustrator and, during the 1850s, trained himself to paint in watercolours. His illustrations of Longfellow’s Evangeline and books of poetry by other contemporaries were a great success, and he quickly became a successful artist in watercolours. Birket Foster became an Associate of the "Old" Watercolour Society (Later the Royal Watercolour Society) in 1860 and exhibited some 400 of his paintings at the Royal Academy over more than 2 decades.
Birket Foster travelled widely, painting the countryside around Scotland, the Rhine Valley, the Swiss lakes and in Italy, especially Venice. In 1863 he moved to Witley, near Godalming in Surrey where he had a house ("The Hill") built. Being friendly with Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, he had the house decorated and furnished in contemporary style, with tiles and paintings by Burne-Jones and Morris' firm, Morris and Company. The same year he published a volume of "English Landscapes," with text by Tom Taylor...
