There is an genuineness in William Herbert Dunton's depictions of the American West that comes from his personal experience as a cowboy, hunter and lifelong avid outdoorsman. As described by Michael R. Grauer, "unlike his Taos brethren, and his peers outside Taos, Dunton was an outdoorsman in the purest sense of the word. He was also one of the few American artists who was a participant in the West, rather than an observer or spectator of it, having worked periodically as a cowboy and hunter from his first trip to the West in 1896 and his first trip to Taos in 1912." (W. Herbert Dunton: A Retrospective, Canyon, Texas, 1991, p. 11)
Busting a Broncho is one such genuine portrayal of cowboys, painted circa 1909-12 when Dunton was at the peak of his career as a commercial illustrator. According to Grauer, the present work was likely used as an illustration in a catalogue or advertisement for the D.M. Ferry Seed Company of Detroit, Michigan, for which Dunton created several similar Old West images around this time. As in the present spirited composition, Julie Schimmel describes, "Many of Dunton's cowboy images...emphasized the cowboy not as a cattleman but as a man accustomed to the dangers of wild men and animals." (The Art and Life of W. Herbert Dunton, 1878-1936, Orange, Texas, 1984, p. 50)
Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for a hallway.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For hallway wall art that does not feel generic, a painted fine art canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular fine art oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
Order Busting a Broncho as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting romantic character to your hallway. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
