Your Leading Edge for
Voices, Ideas, and Stories of the West
Augustus Dunbier, one of the Midwest's best-known artists
in the early
to mid-twentieth century, was the first Nebraska-born
painter to earn
his living solely from his art. Lonnie Pierson Dunbier
and Marcia Kmack
detail the life story of this colorist and
impressionist painter, from
his early artistic development to his travels in search of vivid
landscapes.
Dunbier's assertive, contrasting colors and bold brushwork
captured the intangible features
of season, temperature, and weather. Dunbier frequently traveled
across North America, painting the
mountains of Montana and
Colorado, the coasts and harbors of
Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon,
and Alaska, and the deserts of New Mexico
and Arizona.
Yet the greater part of his impressionist landscapes
feature
Nebraska's hills and trees, lakes and rivers, farms and cities.
His paintings are in numerous collections and museums including the Joslyn Art Museum, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, and the Museum of
Nebraska Art.
