An article about artists in Zion National Park which mentions Alfred Lambourne.
The region’s artistic history begins with Alfred Lambourne, an English-born early Utah immigrant who became one of the first to capture the landscape on canvas. He was thunderstruck by his first encounter. “It is a nature epic; it places us among the primitive,” he wrote in the late 19th century. “One feels there a grandeur akin to the thoughts of Aeschylus and the words of holy writ. To describe it truly one would need the simplicity and strength of the antique, the reverence of the prophets and ‘the large utterance of the early gods.’ “
From Lambourne on, Zion has enjoyed a long run of fine artists who captured its gemlike radiance and foreboding angles, including Thomas Moran, Conrad Buff and Maynard Dixon. Only the flu epidemic of the early 1900s and the Depression could stop the flow of artists. The pace picked up soon enough, with the park’s “Great White Throne” emerging as a favorite subject.
