Charles Edward "Bud" Holman II (July 30, 1926 – May 27, 2023) was an American painter and sculptor.

Early life and education

The Adobe - New Mexican Landscape, 1974-1975

Born July 30, 1926 in Topeka, Kansas, Holman graduated from Stanford University in 1950, with a BA and MA in Art History and Archeology.[1]

Career

In 1975 Holman purchased a home on Canyon Road, in Santa Fe, New Mexico which he renovated. The following year he held a four person show there that included his work, entitled Four Mystery Painters.[2] In 1980 he exhibited in a show of Southwestern art at the Whitney Gallery in Taos.[3]

In 2014, an exhibition of Holman's early drawings from 1948-1950 were shown at the Morris Gallery/NOTO Arts Center in Topeka, Kansas; the drawings were then donated to the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.[4] Several of these sketches were used in the 1950's for the Shawnee County Historical Society covers.[5][6][7]

In 2016, the Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas hosted a retrospective show. The style of the work in the show was described as "abstracted landscape."[8] The museum published a 52-page catalogue in conjunction with the exhibition.[9]

In 2021, Holman exhibited in the Hamptons Fine Art Fair in South Hampton, New York where some of his Sagaponack series were shown.[10][failed verification]

The Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas acquired two large paintings in 1961.[11] In the 1970's the New Mexico Museum of Art acquired three of Holman's works.[12]^ In the 1980's the Tucson Museum of Art acquired four of Holman's paintings.[13] The Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University, Kansas, acquired five paintings.[14]
