Augustus W. Dunbier: Paint for the Love of Color

Rating:
Summary: Very highly recommended for students of American art history
Review: Augustus Dunbier was a prolific, Nebraska-born oil painter known for colorful landscapes, still life, portraits, and figures. He painted throughout the Southwest where, from 1920, he established a seasonal pattern of working in Taos, New Mexico and enjoyed the art colony life with such artist friends as Walter Ufer and Eanger Course. Dunbier painted the mountains of Montana and Colorado, the coasts and harbors of Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon, and Alaska, the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. But the greater part of his impressionist landscapes were painted in Nebraska with its hills and trees, lakes and rivers, farm scenes and cityscapes. Very highly recommended for students of American art history, Augustus W. Dunbier: Paint For The Love Of Color showcases Dunbier's work with more than one hundred color plats and 15 b/w photographs, and offers the a biographical text of his life and work.
