Heinze painted Rocky Mountain landscapes in the 1920’s including Mountain Trail which is in the collection of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Fort Worth, Texas.

Wilbur, American Fork High School, Utah. Although Heinze had lived for many years in Downers Grove, Illinois, he passed away on June 11, 1958 in Glenview, Illinois. Work Available For Sale |
