- Artist Dale Nichols (David City) took his childhood memories of rural Nebraska landscapes and turned them into paintings with a national audience. Today they are national treasures, but the artist has been forgotten by many. For more Nebraska Stories, visit www.netnebraska....
Was really happy to see this tribute to my husband's great uncle. He is always proud of the artistic talents of Dale. The book is awesome and I really love getting to see the stone house painting of his my mother in law has

Thank you for posting this video. A year ago I went to an auction and purchased a biscuit tin with one of Dale Nichols fantastic snow images, and in the same year found a Nichols print of another snow scene. I was immediately drawn to his unique style and regionalism. Wish there were more things about his life available. The new book seems to be a good step into remembering a fine artist with an original style all his own.Thanks again.
+Jamie Sloane The book pretty much tells his story, although it leaves out the last couple of his years in detail. I'm a grand niece, so have the inside scoop :)
I grew up in Nebraska and I admire Nichols' passion for his David City roots, yet I can see a heavy T.H. Benton hand in much of his work, which unsettles me. His paintings reaching beyond the familiar -- almost stereotypical -- scenes of David City rapt my attention much more that the rolling scenes so typical of Benton's work. It might be that I have seen so much of it that I have become numbed. I find Nichols' later works -- landscapes outside of Nebraska and experimental murals -- much more fascinating and reflective of a style that perhaps he had wanted to pursue all along.
