Description:

An American artist who specialized in Western scenes. In 1906, Leigh traveled to the American West while maintaining a studio in New York City. He is known for painting the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park, but his primary interest were the Hopi and Navajo Indians. His adventures were chronicled in a number of popular magazines including Life, the Saturday Evening Post, and Colliers. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
