Fields

Although the later work of Louis Bunce is abstraction, he was always visually drawn to the landscape. I came to know and experience the lush and gentle color of the Pacific Northwest, and the urban landscape of New York City, where I attended the Art Students League and was exposed to the great paintings of the past and present. Born in Wyoming, Bunce lived and worked through all the defining periods of modern art including the Depression easel projects, Cubism, Surrealism, Dada, Abstract Expressionism, and finally settling in the Portland art scene.
