VERSO
Label, American Illustrators Gallery, New York, New York
In 1945, Harvey Dunn was recognized by the National Academy of Design with the coveted status of National Academician. Taught by Howard Pyle, Dunn went on to teach a legion of great American artists beginning shortly before World War I and continuing until World War II. His students included prominent illustrators such as Dean Cornwell, John Clymer, and Amos Sewell. Dunn also greatly influenced N. C. Wyeth and Frank Schoonover with his own work. The artist and historian Walt Reed thought Dunn was “one of the most important illustrators of the 20th century, best known for the authenticity of his Western subjects.”
