About this product

Product Information

Frank Benson, a pivotal artist of the American Impressionist movement had three great loves in his long and productive life: his family, his art, and the sporting life. As a boy, Benson dreamed of being an ornithological illustrator. In mid-life, after an extremely successful career as a portraitist, he returned to the wildfowl and sporting subjects that were his lifelong passion. Over the next forty years, in etching, lithography, watercolor, and oil and wash, he portrayed birds beloved since childhood, scenes of his hunting and fishing expeditions, and still lives of incomparable delicacy. Whether painting a hunter setting out decoys, a wash of geese by moonlight, a watercolor of a companion poised to gaff a salmon, or an etching of a group of ducks silently gliding in for a landing, Benson conveyed the joy and beauty of a sportsman's life.

Makes a terrific gift at a terrific price.
I gave this book as a gift to a family friend who is an avid fly fisherman and lover of wildlife.. It is an outstanding book on another side of the artist Frank Benson's work. I had been in contact with the author about using a painting illustrated in the book for a book that is currently in progress.

The Sporting Art of Frank W. Benson by Faith A. Bedford
I love sporting artwork. Having been brought up in a family that did a tremendous amount of hunting and fishing, Mr. Benson gives you a magical look as to what that era was like in the early 1900's. The author writings are very well presented. She obviously has researched the life of Mr. Benson and his works of art extensively.

Great Book.
THis is a great book for any fan of sporting art or Frank Benson. There is a wonderful selection of Bensons watercolors, oils, and etchings. THere are a few of the wash drawings but I would have liked better examples. Overall it deserves a place on your bookshelf.
