Don B. Huntley‘s passions include a collection of western art that he shares with the university and Cal Poly community. Over the years, Mr. Huntley has donated a number of oil on canvas paintings that depict wildlife, landscapes, and buckaroo art to the University. These pieces, plus other paintings and antique items included in his estate, constitute the Huntley Western Art Collection. Well-known artists in the collection include Bill Anton, Bonnie Marris, Curt Walters, and Ralph Oberg. In this year’s exhibition, some new selections of artwork not exhibited previously on campus, cover the theme of “Creatures of the Wild West.” The paintings selected, reflect the animal that lives, traverse, subsist and survive in what we call the landscape of the wild, wild, west. Each animal group represents components of the delicate balance of relationships between each other and the vast and rugged landscape.
