Collecting
Owning a Kingman.
Paintings, lithographs and drawings from the family's collection, with the history to go with them.
A place in American history
Kingman painted the national parks for the National Park Service, illustrated National Geographic, painted New Deal murals and the world map for The New York Times. Museums and federal agencies hold his work.
The record behind each work
Kingman kept a file card for nearly every painting and print, with its catalogue number, date, place, size and exhibitions. Most works in the collection can be traced to his own card.
Painted from life
Plein air landscapes of the Great Plains, the Rockies, the Southwest and New England. Many are one of a kind; his lithographs were printed in small editions.
