About this product

Product Information

American wildfowl art owes its foundation to Lem Ward. This wood carver and painter (1896-1984) overcame severe illness to produce some of the best-loved wildfowl art extant today. Lem and his brother Steve grew up along the marshes of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and subsisted as barbers and foragers. They created carved and painted ducks to please their independent selves-as works of art, while carvers around them were making decoys just good enough for hunting. Here Lem's life story is told by his daughter Ida who was beside Lem for almost the entire span of his artistic career.

  • Great first person and historical perspective

    The story of a truly kind and generous man as told by his daughter. Set in a different and more hand to mouth time, The Story of Lem Ward should make anyone appreciate the trials and persistence of a truly gifted artist and his family.
