Carter's first experiment in monumental wood sculpture, \u003cem\u003eRivalry of the Winds\u003c\/em\u003e, inspired by a legend important to the Northwest Coast Duwamish people, was purchased by the Seattle Art Museum.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBorn into a pioneering logging family in 1891, as a teen Dudley lived with his family among the Kwakiutl people at Alert Bay in British Columbia. There he acquired a deep appreciation for Native art and culture. That appreciation is readily apparent in many of the fine works Dudley created over his lifetime.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn 1947 Carter was the subject of a \u003cem\u003eLife\u003c\/em\u003e magazine article and a Paramount Pictures film. Reams of newspaper articles about the artist appeared over the years. His fame and reputation continued to grow, and by the 1970s he had amassed a reputation as a fine artist who commanded lucrative commissions for dozens of public art projects and private collections throughout western North America. At the age of 96, Dudley Carter was named the first ever artist in residence for Washington State's King County Parks. Carter's prolific career spanned six enthralling decades, ending in 1992 when he died at the age of 100 with dozens of works still in progress.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDudley Carter: Tales of the Monumental Wood Sculptor\u003c\/em\u003e combines hundreds of photographs of his works with over fifty fascinating stories about him.
