John Zwara

John Zwara (1880 - 1951) was active/lived in Indiana / Hungary.  John Zwara is known for Landscape, frontier scene, still life.

The following, submitted April 2005, is from Edward Bentley, art collector and researcher from Lansing, Michigan.

Commenting on the appeal of the Omaha, Nebraska landscape featured in his work, the artist John Zwara stated in an interview in 1927: "We are indebted to nature for everything we have and we should love and enjoy her beauty. People have eyes and see not. They hurry by the most wonderful pictures, the natural beauty of streams, forests and fields."

But to the people of Indiana that is not the artist anyone is familiar with. Indeed, the only known artist named Zwara was a bedraggled schizophrenic who spoke only through the beauty and appeal of his artwork. Furthermore, although Indiana has been the location of the majority of the painter's known work, it currently represents only a portion of his life.

Jan Zwara (he changed his name to John upon entry into the U.S.) was born December 27, 1880, in Horni Stepanov, Hungary, now a part of the Czech Republic.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 8292 characters.]  Artist bio
