Event Info
Exhibition Date: July 1 - August 27, 2015
Don B. Huntley‘spassions include a collection of western art that he shares with the university and Cal Poly community. Over the years, Mr. Huntley has donated a number of oil on canvas paintings that depict wildlife, landscapes, and buckaroo art to the University. These pieces, plus other paintings and antique items included in his estate, constitute the Huntley Western Art Collection. Well-known artists in the collection include Bill Anton, Bonnie Marris, Curt Walters, and Ralph Oberg. In this exhibition, some new selections of artwork not exhibited previously on campus, cover the theme of “Living Life in the West.” The paintings selected, reflect the points of view of the cowhand, the native, the immigrant worker, and the female present in the western landscape. Each demographic represented reflects the delicate blending of these relationships between each other and the vast and rugged landscape that was the wild, wild, West.
