Charles Ragland Bunnell (born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1897, died in Colorado in 1968), was an American painter, printmaker, and muralist. He moved to Colorado Springs in 1915 and was thereafter associated with that city. As a WPA artist from 1934 to 1941 he executed many commissioned murals in a sturdy, somewhat abstracted figurative style. He was also noted for his colorful Western landscapes. Later he become particularly known for bold abstracts in a cubist-influenced idiom, tending eventually toward abstract expressionism. His work is in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Colorado Springs Museum, Denver's Kirkland Museum, and others.
