J. Louis Lundean, Noted Artist, Dies at Blowing Rock
Blowing Rock (UPI) - J. Louis Lundean, 66, famed for his art studies of horses, died Tuesday at a local hospital after a lengthy illness.
Lundean was known as an illustrator, writer, teacher and lecturer and maintained homes here and in New York City. His paintings are in galleries and private collections around the world. Some are in the collections of the Eli Whitney's, the Averell Harriman's and the Henry du Pont's. Among Lundean's works are portraits of Man of War, Sysonby Dancer and Colin. He also painted Will Rogers from life on his famous cutting horse at King Ranch in Texas.
Lundean studied art and journalism at the University of Missouri before going to New York City, where he took advanced studies with George Luks and Bordman Robinson.
Lundean's activity came natural since he drove a six-horse hitch to a stagecoach as a youth in the West. He first came East to ride with the 101st Wild West Rodeo in New York.
Born in Council Bluff, Iowa, and reared in Wyoming, he learned to paint people and animals with a realism that caught the imagination of Eastern art critics. He was internationally famous for his painting of horses, Western cow ponies, polo ponies, Indian ponies and thoroughbreds.
Survivors include his wife, the former Marjorie Daingerfield, daughter of New York artist Elliot Daingerfield.
