Provenance: Estate of the Artist, Frederick Shane About the Artist: Frederick E. Shane (1906-1992) A celebrated Missouri Regionalist painter and printmaker, Frederick E. Shane was known for his compelling genre scenes, landscapes, seascapes, and portraits in a variety of media, including oil, watercolor, gouache, tempera, and lithography. While fundamentally a realist, Shane often incorporated elements of abstraction, expressionism, and surrealism, adding depth and emotion to his compositions. During the summers of 1925-26, Shane studied under Randall Davey at the Broadmoor Academy in Colorado Springs, an institution founded in 1919 by philanthropists Spencer and Julie Penrose.

Golden Cycle Mill Colorado WPA Mining Watercolor, 1940s Grayscale Artwork
By Charles Ragland Bunnell
Located in Denver, CO
Original 1940s grayscale watercolor painting by American artist Charles Ragland Bunnell, capturing a semi-abstracted view of the Golden Cycle Mill in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Painted in subtle shades of black and gray, this unique WPA-era landscape combines industrial subject matter with expressive, modernist style. A striking piece of American regionalist art from the mid-20th century. The work is presented in a custom black frame. Framed dimensions: 18" H x 19 ½" W x 1 ⅜" D Sight size: 8 ⅛" H x 9 ⅝" W The Golden Cycle Mining and Reduction Company, depicted in this piece, was a major part of Colorado's mining boom in the early 20th century. Located in Colorado City (now part of Old Colorado City), the mill played a significant role in the region’s gold production and industrial development. About the Artist: Charles Ragland Bunnell (1897–1968) Charles Bunnell was a pivotal figure in Colorado’s 20th-century art scene. He worked across multiple styles—from representational landscapes to fully abstract compositions—and was one of the few artists in Colorado to successfully embrace the evolving trends of Modernism, Surrealism, and Abstraction after WWII. Bunnell studied under notable artists at the Broadmoor Art Academy, including Ernest Lawson and Birger Sandzén. His early works, including regional landscapes and mining scenes like this one, showcase a mix of American Scene painting and semi-abstract structure. He later became known for his bold experimentation with color, form, and geometry, producing both expressive oils and ink-watercolor series such as Black and Blue. He participated in multiple New Deal art...
