“Buffalo Bones” by Harvey Dunn`Any budding writers in your family?
The Hunter Museum of American Art has a contest for you.
For the next four months, the Hunter has an exhibit on Harvey Dunn, a prolific illustrator in the early 20th century whose work appeared in hundreds of books and magazines, including 350 illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post. He also was a painter who often focused on the American West, where he grew up, as well as scenes from the battlefields of World War I.
“The pieces are representations of the way that Americans saw their lives at that time and the way they sort of envisioned their lives,” says Cara McGowan, director of marketing and communications at the Hunter.
