Works by William Herbert Dunton, Mark Maggiori, and More at Coeur d’Alene Art Auction
Nov 11, 2023 15:00 ESTThe upcoming Coeur d’Alene Art Auction will feature Western paintings and sculptures from celebrated artists of the past and present, including William Herbert Dunton and Mark Maggiori. Leading the sale is a 1906 oil painting by William Herbert Dunton titled J-D Outfit. A founder of the Taos Society of Artists, William Herbert Dunton was well known for his paintings of cowboys and landscape scenes of the West and Southwest. His portrayal of the West was underlined by a feeling of urgency, as he was sensing the growing influence of modernity. The present painting illustrates the artist’s lifelong interest in hunting and animals, as well as his ability to capture action through painting.
Another notable work in the catalog is an oil painting by Mark Maggiori, titled The Watering Hole. In his paintings, the artist often portrays a lone cowboy silhouetted against textures of clouds, rendered in a contemporary style. Landscape paintings by Maggiori are particularly noted for their sublime, layered, and textured clouds, magnifying and dwarfing his subject matter. Also of note in this auction is Adobe House, Taos, an oil painting by Victor Higgins. As a member of the Taos Society, Victor Higgins showed an unmatched understanding and appreciation of the American and European Modernist movements in his portrayal of the Southwest’s landscape and people. Higgins experimented with abstraction in his still lifes and landscapes, especially in depicting adobe houses, mountains, and flowers.
