      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">William Herbert Dunton (often called “Buck”) was born on his family’s farm nearÂ Augusta, Maine. During Dunton’s childhood years, he spent most of his time in rural Maine with his maternal grandfather of the Pillsbury family. Dunton learned how to hunt and proficiently navigate the outdoors.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Heritage Spill</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1896 Dunton travelled to Montana, a trip that was the first of many travels to the West. In the next decade, Dunton travelled to Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon and New Mexico. Dunton paid his way during his trips by making illustrations for newspapers.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dunton/6.dunton.jpg" alt="Dunton, In the Tetons" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">In the Tetons</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1897, Dunton spent a short amount of time at the Cowles Art School in Boston before beginning a career as an illustrator. By 1903 Dunton moved to New York to find full-time illustration work. Dunton worked for high profile publications, including Harper’s and Schribner’s.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dunton/7.dunton.jpg" alt="Dunton, The Horse Rustler" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Horse Rustler</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Eventually, Dunton continued his studies at the Art Students League, studying under Frederick C. Yohn, Frank V. DuMond, and Ernest Blumenschein. Dunton grew tired of commercial illustration, and was urged by Ernest Blumenschein to go to Taos, New Mexico. After his first visit, Dunton decided to make a permanent move to New Mexico in 1914.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dunton/8.dunton.jpg" alt="Dunton, Hunter's Return" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Hunter’s Return</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In New Mexico, Dunton continued to work as a painter and illustrator, but found time to go hunting and explore the wilderness. Dunton’s paintings were accepted into exhibitions around the country, including the National Academy of Design in New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at Philadelphia, and the Art Institute of Chicago.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dunton/9.dunton.jpg" alt="Dunton, Cottonwood Trees" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cottonwood Trees</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Living in the West, Dunton had to sacrifice an east-coast income and frequently lived below the poverty line. By 1915, Dunton was greatly aided by joining the Taos Society of Artists. Other artists in the group included Berninghaus, Blumenschein, Couse, Phillips, and Sharp. The group exhibited in major cities and galleries throughout the United States. Dunton also organized solo-exhibitions in Kansas City, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Amarillo, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">During the Great Depression it was harder for Dunton to sell his work, forcing him to do portrait painting and other commission jobs. Dunton was also a painter for the government run, Public Works of Art Project in New Mexico.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1928 Dunton began to have health problems caused by a horse accident that caused multiple ulcers. Dunton died in Taos several years later after battling cancer.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dunton’s paintings are now in collections across the country. The The Stark Museum of Art, The Eiteljorg Museum, Kit Carson Memorial Museums, Museum of New Mexico, Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, The Rockwell Museum, and the San Antonio Art League own most of Dunton’s paintings. Dunton is an important member of the Taos Society of Artists.
