Biography from American Museum of Natural History:
| Considered an expert amateur entomologist and general naturalist in addition to being a painter, Chris Olsen is best known for undersea exhibits such as the Andros Coral Reef and the Pearl Diver dioramas in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
His work was not restricted to painting, and he was an extraordinary foreground artist and model-maker as well.
Olsen retired in 1947 after more than thirty years with the American Museum of Natural History. |
