Charles Beckendorf (American, 1930 - 1996), four avian prints each with signature and dated to the bottom, all framed under glass as a multiple; measures approximately 24" in height by 28-1/2" in width with sight image measuring approximately 6" in height by 8-3/4" in width to each of the prints. Charles grew up in Mathis, Texas, where he had the opportunity to spend hours on large ranches. Generous land owners gave him permission to wander freely over their ranches and he observed creatures in their natural surroundings. He developed a lifelong love of nature, whether it be in the tiniest of flowers or the largest of animals. It was at this time that he became a true naturalist. Art classes were not offered in the Mathis schools, and most of Charles’ teachers were annoyed with his innate interest in drawing. He was told that he “would never amount to anything” if he just sat around drawing. After graduating from high school in 1948, he enrolled in the University of Corpus Christi and delightfully discovered that he could actually major in art. He later attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos (now Texas State University).
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
