While a student at Yale, Eugene Kingman achieved national attention with a commission from the National Park Service to paint scenes of various parks, seven of which were displayed in Paris, France during an Expo in 1931. Two of these paintings (Yellowstone and the Grand Teton) were displayed in the Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's office in Washington, D.C, while he served in that position. The 5 other paintings (Crater Lake, Mt. Rainier, the Grand Canyon, and Yosemite) are housed in vaults inside most of those National Parks.
