In 1950, South Dakota native Harvey Dunn exhibited a selection of his paintings in De Smet, South Dakota, showcasing scenes of the state's homesteading era, along with portraits, and works from his distinguished career during the Golden Age of Illustration. Dunn donated most of these works to South Dakota State University, becoming the foundation of the South Dakota Art Museum's collection. This exhibition recreates Dunn's original 1950 display as closely as possible, complemented by archival materials that highlight his enduring impact.
