David Hagerbaumer (1921-2014)
Wild Turkey, 1978
signed and dated "David Hagerbaumer" lower left
watercolor, 15 by 22 in.
"A genius of the meticulous, together with a knowledge of the birds he portrays, Mr. Hagerbaumer is indeed one of the truly great sporting artists of our times. With his impressive record, coupled with genuine respect and admiration for wildlife and his enthusiastic love of the out of doors, it is no wonder that his work reflects an intimate knowledge of bird habitats, a subtle rendering of colors as well as humility and restraint in his definitions. Mr. Hagerbaumer is one of America's truly fine watercolorists." - The Crossroads of Sport, 1971-1972
This outstanding wild turkey painting shows Hagerbaumer’s mastery of imparting depth of field, no easy feat in the medium of watercolor.
