"ORNERY DAY"
ARTIST DUANE BRYERS
American Artist Duane Bryers
(1911-2012) died May 30th, 2012, a month before his 101st birthday. He was a
famed Western Art Artist
, but much more. He was called
one of America's finest and most versatile artists
. The
Tucson Museum of Art's March-May 1997 Exhibition
of his work called him
"
perhaps the most famous of all living artists who work with Western American and traditional artistic imagery
"
.
This is Mr. Bryers
'
Signed &
Numbered Limited Edition Lithograph
"Ornery Day"
.
Here
,
this determined cowboy
,
a true
"
Man of the West
",
with his horse
and his faithful dog
, set out to do the work that needs to be done, regardless of the weather. And since Mother Nature can certainly be impossible – Today is, indeed, an
"Ornery Day"
!
Mr. Bryers was the Tucson Art Festival's
Artist of the Year
in 1987
joining such Western Artist luminaries as
Olaf Wieghorst
(1975),
James Reynolds
(1977),
Joe Beeler
(1981), and
Howard Terpning
(1983). He is included in the important
"
Contemporary Western Artists
"
reference book by Peggy & Harold Samuels (Southwest Art Publishing, 1982). Art West Magazine honored Mr. Bryers with its January/February 1982
Cover Story
,
"
Duane Bryers: Painting in Progress
". Other major articles included
Southwest Art Magazine's March 1976 article that reviewed Mr. Bryers' work and his book
"
The Bunkhouse Boys
"
with its 28 portraits by the artist; Southwest Art's August 1986 article
"
Enthusiasm Plus Disciplined Confidence
"
; and many more. His artwork is part of numerous public, corporate, and private fine art collections in the U.S. and abroad.
The artist firmly believed in the mystery of the stars. He'd do a large painting and then place a figure of maybe a half inch in it somewhere
"
to show
how small man is compared with nature
".
The final paragraph from the Southwest Art 1986 article
concludes so well:
"W
hat makes Bryers' people look so real
?
I think we can chalk it up to his
pioneer heritage
that he values so much, to his lifetime of drawing and painting, to an unceasing
desire to succeed
in art, and to his
understanding heart
that celebrated the indomitable spirit and dignity to be found in
ordinary people and their everyday lives
.
