This Bundy watercolor was featured in our weekly email on 7/18/14 along with the following gallery comments:
Bundy’s arrival in Richmond, IN in 1888 at age thirty-four signaled a change in his artistic direction. He’d previously focused on portraiture but arriving to lead art studies at Earlham College coincided with his transition to a landscape painter working in both the studio and plein air. He was considered the ‘dean’ of the Richmond School – the elder artist to many, many great painters who improbably worked in Richmond, Centerville and surrounding Eastern Indiana in the early twentieth century. Richmond Autumn Landscape (our title), an 1899 watercolor, is a nice example of Bundy’s work. Nineteenth century Bundy works are relatively rare. As was often the case, he’s given us a beautiful vista -- largely natural and devoid of the mark of man. A steady example from one of the great Indiana -- nay, great American painters...
