George Browne (1918-1958)
Greenwings at Sun Set, 1952
signed "George Browne" lower right
oil on canvas, 24 1/2 by 29 1/2 in.
Struck down at the age of forty in a tragic shooting accident, George Browne is known to have completed only a few hundred finished works in his lifetime. The thoughtful rendering of his sporting and wildlife scenes indicate a man full of talent and promise. His untimely death left behind a limited and highly coveted body of his work. Following in the footsteps of artists/sportsmen like Frank W. Benson (1862-1951), Carl Clemens Moritz Rungius (1869-1959), and Aiden Lassell Ripley (1896-1969), George Browne painted the waterfowl and upland game birds that he also hunted. Browne is known for his deft handling of paint and his incredible attention to detail.Greenwings at Sun Set was painted over nine and a half days in the artist's summer studio in Seebe, Alberta. It was purchased directly from the artist by Norman Newton Lougheed, son of Sir James Alexander Lougheed, a prominent Canadian attorney and senator. Lougheed was knighted in 1916 and the family name graces a town and a mountain in Alberta.
