William Lumpkins (1909–2000) was an American artist and architect best known for his abstract watercolors and pioneering solar adobe architecture.
He was a founding member of the Transcendental Painting Group and cofounder of the Santa Fe Art Institute with Pony Ault.
In 1929 he graduated from Roswell High School, where he had met and befriended artist Peter Hurd.
"[3] Lumpkins' adobe building designs were featured in the 1982 exhibition "Des Architecture de Terre" held at the Centre Georges Pompidou and were the subject of a book, Pueblo Architecture and Modern Adobes : The Residential Designs of William Lumpkins.
Lumpkins was one of the earlier Abstract Expressionists, having employed the style about a decade before other American artists popularized it .
