Topics
Description
Born and raised in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and trained in New York and Europe, Audley Dean Nicols became a successful illustrator for Collier’s, McClure’s, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s. In 1922, he moved to El Paso for his health, and became known for his paintings of desert landscapes, with views of the Franklin and Guadalupe Mountains in Texas, as well as sites in Arizona, New Mexico and California.
Location Notes
Nicols lived and was buried in El Paso, and was well known for his landscape paintings of the Franklin Mountains, so perhaps it would be fitting to put a marker at the entrance to the Franklin Mountains State Park, 2900 Tom Mays Park Access Road, El Paso, Texas 79911.
