For this independent blog post I decided to do my art topic on Harvey Dunn. His art instantly caught my attention. I noticed that it looked very realistic and his paintings were incredible. A common theme among his work was the setting. I lot of the paintings seemed to be painted representing desolate areas. I lot of the paintings were of different scenes in open fields. This is most likely because Harvey Dunn grew up as a prairie farmer.
Another key theme of his art was also war. There were no war scenes but the viewer can depict from the paintings that the setting was during a war time period. I wonder which wars these paintings represented and who and where they were. Harvey Dunn traveled a lot and had different occupations such as being a teacher. I think he was a very skilled artist and I hope to look at some more of his artwork.
