Roadside Cottage (1889), Dennis Miller Bunker
Dennis Miller Bunker was respected as an extraordinary talent by his contemporaries such as John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, Stanford White, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Isabella Stewart Gardner, yet it is only in the past thirty years that collectors, historians and critics have rediscovered his work. Of the 225 pictures Bunker painted during his decade-long career, only about 100 are presently known, many of which are included in the permanent collections of institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. In 1978, the New Britain Museum of American Art organized the first major Bunker retrospective since the 1891 memorial exhibition held at the St. Botolph Club in Boston, following Bunker’s untimely death of meningitis at age 29. From his academic portraits, to his Barbizon inspired tonalist landscapes, to the impressionistic canvases of his final years, Bunker’s art reflects the rapidly changing artistic tastes of the tumultuous time in which he lived.
Available as a fine art print and as a stretched canvas panel (heavy fine art canvas stretched over 1.5 inch deep edge solid wood frame).
All prints are made using archival art stocks and UV pigment inks to give up to 200 years life. Prints are sold unframed and unmounted.
