Conrad Schwiering
(1916 - 1986)
Working from his home and studio in Jackson, Wyoming, Conrad Schwiering painted
mountain landscapes that show the changing seasons. He is known for his views
of the Teton Mountains. Conrad Schwiering was born in Boulder, Colorado in
1916. He started drawing horses at seven but his college years were spent
studying business at the University of Wyoming at his father’s suggestion.
During the summers he took art classes in Denver, Laramie and Taos. When he
graduated he moved to New York City to attend the Art Students League and paint
full time. In 1941 he moved back to Laramie, served in World War II, and then
moved to Jackson, Wyoming in 1947 to paint the mountains. “We sold two
paintings that year,” Schwiering recalls, “one for $35 and another for $40.
Beans were scarce. It took us thirteen years to acquire land and build our home
and my studio.” Schwiering asserts, “Many people have called me an Impressionist
painter. If Impressionism is the study of sunlight then I am an Impressionist.
But rather than an Impressionist, I consider myself a mood painter. Painting is
not an intellectual matter. Now, the technical knowledge has to be there, but
art is a gut process, and there is no substitute for sweat.” Schwiering has
been featured in Persimmon Hill and in Southwest Art, and is listed in Who’s
Who in American Art. He was a charter member of the National Academy of Western
Art.
