About the Item

941 Egg Tempera Landscape of Pikes Peak by Charles Bunnell – Autumn in Colorado This original 1941 egg tempera painting by celebrated Colorado artist Charles Bunnell (1897–1968) beautifully captures the majestic Front Range in autumn, with a snow-covered Pikes Peak rising above a vibrant, seasonal landscape. A serene creek winds through the foreground, flanked by bare trees and surrounded by rich fall foliage in brilliant tones of orange, yellow, and red. The luminous mountain backdrop and expressive brushwork reflect Bunnell’s mastery of both color and composition. The painting is signed in the lower-left corner, and inscribed on the verso: "To Laura, November 22, 1941", adding a personal and historical dimension to the work. It is housed in a custom archival frame: Framed dimensions: 15 ½ x 19 ¼ x 1 ¼ inches Image size: 7 ¾ x 11 inches This early, representational landscape exemplifies Bunnell’s keen observation and emotional connection to the Colorado terrain. About the Artist: Charles Bunnell (1897–1968) A pivotal figure in American Modernism and Colorado regional art, Charles Bunnell’s career spanned both representational and abstract styles. After studying at the Broadmoor Art Academy, he developed a distinctive voice influenced by mentors like Birger Sandzén and Ernest Lawson, and later incorporated European and New York modernist trends into his work. In 1947, Bunnell gained national recognition when his painting Why? was personally selected by Katherine Kuh of the Art Institute of Chicago for a major traveling exhibition of abstract and surrealist art. Although best known for his semi-abstract paintings in the 1950s and beyond, his early works—like this 1941 landscape—showcase his technical skill, deep reverence for nature, and evolving modernist sensibility. Provenance: From the estate of Charles Bunnell, with direct lineage and guaranteed authenticity.
