In this series I'm featuring artists who were showcased in a large lot of gallery exhibition catalogues and art books we obtained at an auction. Some of these artists are absolutely amazing, but the work of others doesn't appeal so much to me. The wonderful thing about art is there is something for everyone!
Bernard Dunstan was born in 1920 and lived to the ripe old age of 97! Some of his works are included in the British Royal Collection. He was not only a painter, but also a well known art teacher. Dunstan was best known for his luminous depictions of musicians, nudes and Venice. Although the works have a spontaneous feel, solid geometry underlies them.

Although Dunstan's works are not really to my taste, I can really relate to their obvious beauty!
