Bunce taught at the Museum Art School in Portland until his retirement. He introduced the serigraph technique to Oregon and worked in many styles - cubism, expressionism, surrealism, and abstractionism."

"WALL"
This smaller study of a nude by Louis Bunce is not dated but was acquired in the late 1960s at the Fountain Gallery. It is similar in style and concept to "Interlude #1, a 1965-66 oil, graphite on canvas shown on the Laura Russo website archive. The signature can be viewed lower right. Condition is excellent with only minor cosmetic wear to the wood fir frame. The original hand written information is affixed to the back board of the frame with some prior water damage noted. Note the sticker top right gives both artist and title. The painting is in its original state. It is quite beautiful!
