Conrad Schwiering
1916-1986
Conrad Schwiering, raised in Laramie, Wyoming, first fell in love with the
Tetons while on a trip with his father. The spectacular view of the Teton Range
from the north left a lasting impression on the young boy. Schwiering moved to
Jackson with his wife Mary Ethel in 1947. Unlike many artists of the American
West, Schwiering was a native of the region. As he stated in an interview
several years before his death in 1986, "I am different in that I am a part of
the land. I record the things that I know as a way of breathing - a way of
living." Schwiering is best known for his dramatic Teton landscapes. In
1981 he was recognized by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage
Museum with a one man exhibition of 38 of his paintings and was awarded the
Trustees Gold Medal for his “…outstanding contributions to Western art.”
