University of Wisconsin - Whitewater campus, McGraw Building South side Arthur Kdav installation art piece - still looking amazing!  Pictured here is his daughter, Heather Swan,  a poet, writer, teacher at UW Madison, who happened to be on campus doing a reading.  She went to see the painting and got this photo with her dad's art piece.  I also found some pictures of this piece getting installed and getting loaded from the Arthur Kdav's studio in Pepin, Wisconsin.  Arthur Kdav on scaffolding at UW installing the artwork.  

Pastels, Prints and Etchings by Arthur Kdav.   Some of these are now available unframed on ETSY - Wren's Art Nest.   Some of the pastels are undated - but our family believes these were completed  between 2011 - 2019.  These dates are estimates based on what we know he was working on over the years.  They were created after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.     You can see lines in the pictures of the work here that are also found in his large steel frame canvas sculptural paintings as well as his early "Matisse" style blue prints.  While Parkinson's Disease forced Arthur Kdav to change the way he created - it didn't keep him from continuity in his results.  Impressive.
