A native Midwesterner's timeless portrayals of a fragile sanctuary The Indiana Dunes Revealed offers the first comprehensive examination of a widely collected, much loved, and ecologically significant artist. Described by art historian William Gerdts as "one of the finest painters working in the Midwest in the first decades of the twentieth century," Frank V. Dudley (1868-1957) was a native of Wisconsin who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before going on to establish a long exhibition record both there and across the country. He also dedicated over forty years of his professional life as a landscape painter to the promotion and preservation the Indiana Dunes. Today, thanks in part to Dudley's efforts, this unique geographical region enjoys state and federal protection and provides ecologists from around the world with a living laboratory unlike anything else. The Indiana Dunes Revealed serves as the accompanying catalogue for the exhibition of Dudley's work showing from August 15 to November 30, 2006 at the Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University. Featuring 150 color and 70 black-and-white images, it celebrates Dudley's unique artistic legacy, documents the exhibition, and demonstrates the painter's importance to environmentalists and naturalists, especially during the many years of national debate over the designation of parts of the dunes as a national park. In some areas, Dudley's painting may be the only record of a lost dunescape, and as the struggle between development and preservation continues, his enduring art reminds us of the need for a sustainable environment for the Great Lakes.

The towering sand dunes along Lake Michigan, not far from Chicago, are one of the most unexpected natural features of Indiana. The second edition of Dreams of Duneland beautifully illustrates the dunes region, from the past to the present. Since the first edition, the Indiana Dunes area has become an official national park. With more than 400 stunning images, many of them new, Dreams of Duneland showcases the breathtaking sand dunes, as well as the rest of this newly minted park, which includes savanna, wetland, prairie, and forest and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Kenneth J. Schoon reveals how the preserved area of the Indiana Dunes National Park—which sits by residential communities, businesses, and cultural attractions—has a long history of competition among farmers, fur traders, industrialists, and conservationists. Featuring a new foreword and afterword and many updates throughout, this gorgeous new edition will have you planning a trip to the extraordinary Indiana Dunes.

Born of deaf parents at Delavan, Wisconsin, Frank Dudley (1868-1957) sketched the rolling hills and lakes of his boyhood haunts. His love of landscape led him to Chicago and its Art Institute, with his younger brother Clarence soon to follow. The two eventually established a portrait photography shop in the Union Park neighborhood on Chicago's near west side. In the mid-1890s, Union Park Superintendent Jens Jensen was there experimenting with his "American Garden" of native prairie plants, just across the street from the Dudley brothers, boarding together, first on the east and then the west side of the park. By the turn of that century, Clarence Dudley and Jens Jensen were in the Indiana Dunes with their cameras. Beginning in 1896, the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan's southern shore drew the interests of botanist Henry Chandler Cowles, whose work on plant succession at the University of Chicago established the Dunes as North America's "birthplace of ecology." In 1908, Jens Jensen began leading hikes to the Dunes, later establishing the Prairie Club that took the lead in a regional conservationist movement. Frank Dudley, established as a landscape artist in Chicago, followed his brother to the Dunes, finding purpose for his art and a mission to preserve a landscape. The 1917 Dunes Pageant brought tens of thousands to Waverly Beach at the mouth of Dunes Creek to push for a national park. Frank Dudley painted the scene, devoting his career to painting the Dunes for the next forty years. As the struggle continues between private industry and environmentalists, Dudley's pictures of his beloved Dunes still remind us of the need to protect a fragile landscape.
