Glacier

“I visited Glacier National Park for the first time in the Spring of 1994. The crowds were absent, the waterfalls full, and the forest so colorful.” – Charles Pabst

Visitors to the Marcus Ashley Gallery will discover that Charles Pabst art is one of the several magnificent collections on display. The gallery offers art enthusiasts and appreciators a memorable experience amidst the works of past and present masters. If there’s one thing you can be sure of, you’ll leave the gallery with a fuller heart and spirit.

Pabst painted Glacier to immortalize that moment in time when he witnessed the unfettered beauty of the breathtaking Glacier National Park in Montana — its rugged and lush topography on vivid display sans tourists.

In this painting, he captures the majesty of the glacier-capped mountains and dense greenery that make this place such a wonder. Save for a pair of Navajo tribesmen that lead a herd of equestrian beauties, a blanket of stillness covers the land.

The artist uses precise brushstrokes that fill every element in this painting with richly pigmented hues. Sun-kissed, shadowy tones impart a true-to-life finish in Glacier, a Pabst masterpiece that deserves its own spot on a wall.
