Frank
Stick
Splendid Painter of the Out-of-Doors
Frank
Stick, one of the celebrated students of Howard Pyle, was among
the most successful artists of the early 20th century. Stick, as
well as fellow Pyle pupils Frank Schoonover, Harvey Dunn, Philip
R. Goodwin, N.C. Wyeth, Oliver Kemp, and Howard E. Smith produced
some of the finest sporting and wildlife art during “The
Golden Age of Illustration.” Later in his life, Stick created
a stunning body of watercolors relating to his love of the tropical
Caribbean. This 272 page volume, written with the cooperation of
the Stick family, contains over 380 images, providing an extensive
collection of Frank Stick’s work, as well as the story of
this wonderful artist’s fascinating life.
The
hardcover edition is limited to 2,000 copies. An additional 135
are bound in leather and slipcased, numbered and signed by the
author, and include a 10” x 12” reproduction of “Riders
at Lake McDermott.”
