Bedford,
Faith Andrews – THE SPORTING ART OF FRANK W. BENSON –
2000 1st edition – 272p – Godine, Boston – This is the
first book to concentrate on the aspect of Benson’s carrer that
won him both national in international renown as well as financial prosperity.
Written by Faith Andrews Bedford, who also wrote the definitive monograph
on his carrer, it draws on a rich store of family memories, diaries, letters
and archives to create an intimate portrait of a man who was not only
a successful artist, but a consummate sportsman. His sporting art depicting
anything from 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, lovingly conveys the
joy and beauty of a sportsman life. A magnificent portrayal of Frank W.
Benson’s sporting art, sure to bring the outdoors into your favorite
chair on a cold winter’s night. – Very fine in very fine.
