John Elwood Bundy (1853-1933) was an American painter known as the "dean" of the Richmond, Indiana group of painters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Bundy was born in North Carolina and moved to Monrovia, Indiana with his family at the age of five. He studied briefly in Indianapolis with Barton S. Hays but was primarily self-taught. He joined the art department of Earlham College in 1887 and took up painting full time in 1895. He was a founding member of the Society of Western Artists and was a central influence in the founding of the Richmond Art Museum in 1898.
