According to art historian Lynn Verschoor, “Born and raised in a homesteading family in South Dakota, Harvey Dunn combined a powerful physique and an unstoppable drive to become an artist. After schooling in Chicago and with Howard Pyle, he launched his career in painting and teaching – and went on to become one of the most important illustrators of the 20th century, best known for the authenticity of his Western subjects.”The artist wrote, “When you choose a picture, think of it from all angles, then choose the most barren, most brutal way of saying it. Say it strongly and simply with the fewest possible things necessary. By these things, well known; that make the picture stronger and that’s what we want — better and stronger pictures. Think of the earth and all things on it as solid, and of the air as space.”
