Lot Description

Francis Golden (1916-2008)
Canadas in Flight,
signed "Francis Golden" lower right
watercolor, 22 1/4 by 15 3/4 in.

Golden graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston in 1939 and shortly thereafter was hired to paint the background for Salvador Dali’s work “The Dream of Venus” for the World’s Fair in New York. He worked steadily for many years, creating commissions for magazines such as "Collier’s," "The Saturday Evening Post," "Gray’s Sporting Journal," and many others. Golden’s exuberant, colorful paintings appeared on the cover of "Sports Illustrated," and he was voted one of their top ten artists of all time. A member of the Webster family writes, “I remember when the first batch of Frank Golden paintings arrived for my dad to look at. Golden had illustrated articles in "Sports Illustrated" magazine. Being a sports nut, I thought that was pretty cool.”

Provenance: William B. Webster III Collection
