The career of South Dakota native Harvey Dunn spanned two world wars and the Great Depression. Now, technology has revealed some lost works by Dunn. Lost because they were painted over by the artist himself.
The South Dakota Art Museum in Brookings is about to reveal some of theose lost works in a new exhibit. SDPB's Brian Gevik brings us a first look.
