Copil fiind si-a petrecut verile la ranchul bunicilor sai inWyoming unde bunica I-a daruit primul set de vopsele de ulei.Acolo a crescut cu dragostea de tara, de spatiile deschise si de stilul rural de viata. Robert Duncan a fost pictor de profesie timp de 25 de ani. A studiat arta la Universitatea din Utah si alucrat ca artist comercial pana cand si-a dedicat tot timpul artei Vestului American.

2. ” Picturile mele reflecta lucrurile pe care le iubesc. Subiectele mele sunt de obicei membrii familiei si prieteni din vecinatate. Pictezsi pt casunt profund ingrijorat ca pierdem din vedere lucrurile care au un profund impact asupra sufletului si a buna-starii noastre. Parem a f iintr-o goana nebuna spre progres, dar sunt unele lucruri care nu s-au imbunatatit de secole. Daca fiecare din noi ar aduce o contributie cat de mica, am putea sa pastram lucrurile importante. Toti avem nevoie de natura in viata noastra. Avem nevoie de aer curat si de spatii deschise. Cred ca sufletului ii face bine sa mergem cu masina pana la o ferma si sa vedem vacile pascand. Si copiii au nevoie sa creasca in familii iubitoare." -- Robert Duncan
3. Robert Duncan was born in Utah and began painting at age eleven. He spent summers as a boy on his grandparents' ranch in Wyoming where his grandmother gave him his first set of oil paints. It was there that he grew to love the country, the open spaces, and the rural lifestyle. Robert Duncan has painted professionally for about 25 years. He studied art at the University of Utah and worked as a commercial artist until his full-time dedication to the fine art of the American West. Robert was elected into the Cowboy Artists of America at a young age and won two silver medals in their annual exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum -- a dream come true. Robert, his wife Linda, their six children, and a lively assortment of farm animals live in the little town of Midway in Northern Utah. http://www.artcentergallery.com/gallery/robert-duncan
4. "My paintings reflect the things I love. My subjects are usually family members and friends in neighborhood surroundings. I also paint out of a concern that we are losing sight of the things that have a profound impact on our souls and well-being. We seem to be in a mad rush to progress, but there are some things that haven't been improved upon for centuries. If each of us contributes just a little, we can preserve the things that matter. We all need nature in our lives. We need fresh air and open spaces. I think just to drive by a farm and see cows grazing in a field does a soul good. And children need to be nurtured in loving families." -- Robert Duncan
