Gerard Curtis Delano (1890-1972)

Gerard Curtis Delano was born on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1890. Delano studied at the Swaine Free School of Design, the Art Students League, and the Grand Central School of Art, from which he emerged a successful illustrator. In 1919 Delano first traveled west to work on a ranch in Colorado, and settled there in 1920. Making trips to Navajo country, Delano became fascinated by Native American subject matter. Delano would become a scholar and devote himself to accurate scenes of Native Americans against the dramatic Southwest landscape.
