Oil on board 18 x 14 framed, art 15 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. Attributed to Edgar Alwin Payne (1 March 1883 – 8 April 1947) was an American Western landscape painter and muralist.Payne was born near Cassville, Barry County, Missouri, in the heart of the Ozarks.[1] Cassville is in southwest Missouri, near the Arkansas border. Despite his relative isolation this turn-of-the-century Missouri teenager toured the world. Before Edgar was done he would crisscross the United States, travel to Mexico, Canada, and Europe, and even spend the summer in the Alps. But, like John Muir before him, and Ansel Adams after, it was the American West that most appealed to his heart.
