Dale William Nichols (American, 1904-1995)
Born 13 July 1904 in David City, Nebraska, Dale William Nichols’ career began at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Having spent the better part of the 1920s and 30s in Chicago, Nichols became a Carnegie Professor in Art at the University of Illinois before taking a position in 1943 as the art editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica. He spent the remainder of his life traveling extensively in the United States and Guatemala. Best known as a rural landscape painter, his works included illustrations, paintings, lithographs, and wood carvings. Nichols died at the age of 91 in Sedona, Arizona on 19 October 1995. He is remembered among the American landscape artists of the 20th century. Three of his paintings are in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Museum of Nebraska Art features a dozen of his works, including oil paintings, lithographs, and sketches.
