Born in Sweden, educated in Chicago and influenced by a stint in Paris, B.J.O. Nordfeldt had many experiences throughout his art career, and yet, like many others before him, he was drawn to Northern New Mexico, where he lived in Santa Fe starting in 1917. Although he painted subjects from around the world, some of his most well-known images are of Native Americans. His close association with the Indigenous people pushed him to co-found the Indian Artists Fund, which helped preserve the heritage of the pueblo people. His landscapes, many of them created after 1929, are especially rare because he destroyed most of them before leaving New Mexico in 1940.
