According to J. Gray Sweeney, "The most important work resulting from Kensett's Western trips was the extraordinary painting entitled Storm, Western Colorado...which was based on the experience of the 1870 railroad trip West with Whittredge and Gifford [and was] Completed only two years before Kensett's death, when he was at the height of his artistic powers...Kensett's painting is a powerfully direct statement about the Western wilderness, and, unlike Whittredges' and Gifford's paintings, Storm, Western Colorado has no humans or activity. It is a pathless wilderness made even more inaccessible by the presence of a mountain-locked lake." (The Artist-Explorers of the American West, unpublished Ph.D. Dissertation, Indiana University, 1975, pp. 293, 295)
