Biography from the Archives of askART
I know some about Austin Deuel because I live here in San Antonio where he has a number of works on public display and I also was a Vietnam era US Marine, like him. He was a Marine combat artist; later he was commissioned to do the San Antonio's Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which was dedicated Nov. 9, 1986, two days before Veterans Day. The memorial, titled Hill 881 South, depicts a radio operator comforting a wounded comrade while anxiously searching the sky for a medivac helicopter.
The bronze sculpture stands about 10 feet tall at its highest point and is 23 feet long and 12 feet wide. With a weight of more than 10 tons, it is the largest sculpture of its kind in the country.
Deuel taught art at the junior college level, ran an art gallery, wrote a San Diego newspaper column on artifacts, traveled abroad, collects Old Master works and contemporary art. He is a sculptor, painter, and muralist; as well he has published the gamut of reproductions from lithogdraphs to greeting cards to calendars and plates, winning many awards in the process since the early 1960's.
Austin Deuel is a member of the American Indian and Cowboy Artists Association.
He is also an author, and his paintings hang in the US Marine Corps Museum in Washington, D.C. and in many other collections, such as the Maddox Library at Trinity University, where many bronze sculptures of his are on display as well.

Biography from the Archives of askART
An excerpt from http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/88spring/br-canon.htm
Cañon de los Artistas is a book by artist Austin Deuel, whose love for the natural and man made scene in remote Baja California comes through on every page. Indeed, implicit throughout the book is a plea for the preservation of that scene from the destruction of modern "development." The book is a collection of excellent reproductions of Deuel paintings, drawings, photographs of sculpture, and photographs of the region, all supplemented by a first person narrative of his experiences in the Sierra de San Francisco area villages and Native American cave paintings.
Deuel also describes the cave paintings of the area, especially those of Gardener, El Cacariso and Flechas caves. Although the title might lead you to think the cave paintings are the focus of the book, the fact is that most of the narrative and pictures relate to the contemporary people and landscape of that part of Baja California. Thus this is not a book for the scholar who wants to study the cave paintings of Baja; it is more of a description/travel account for the nature lover, the Baja buff, or one who loves beautiful books.
