EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of William Hood Dunwoody, 1911" captures the essence of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on Minneapolis. Painted by Julian Russell Story in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 127 x 101.6 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. William Hood Dunwoody was not just any wealthy individual; he was one of sixteen millionaires residing in Minneapolis during his time. His fortune stemmed from flour milling, which allowed him to amass great wealth and influence. However, it was his philanthropic spirit that truly defined him. On his deathbed in 1914, Dunwoody bequeathed a staggering $6 million to public and charitable institutions. Additionally, he set up the renowned Dunwoody Institute with a generous donation of $1 million to provide vocational training for young people interested in skilled trades. The portrait depicts Dunwoody seated formally at a desk with an armrest while wearing a suit and tie. With white hair gracefully framing his face, he exudes wisdom and authority as a prominent figure within society. This painting holds immense historical significance as it symbolizes both the generosity and legacy of William Hood Dunwoody. It serves as a testament to his dedication towards improving the lives of others through education and philanthropy. Thanks to Mrs. Kate L. Dunwoody's subsequent contribution - her collection of oil paintings - this artwork now resides within the esteemed walls of the Minneapolis Institute of Art
