- Lot Description
Harry Curieux Adamson (1916-2012)
Wild Bounty - Black Ducks,1972
signed "Harry Curieux Adamson" lower right
oil on canvas, 23 3/4 by 35 1/2in.
According to Diane Inman in her book, "From Marsh to Mountain: The Art of Harry Curieux Adamson," "In 1972 Wild Wings reproduced a second canvas, the very popular "Wild Bounty - Black Ducks," again in an edition of 450. This time the setting is a partially frozen pond, in the midst of a dense but nearly leafless copse, a few evergreen pines reminding one of December on the Eastern flyway. Reeds in the foreground are limp and bent. Two birds in the upper right hand corner, considerably further back from the primary group, seem just to have emerged from the misty background. Several bare trees are reflected in the still waters of the glazed pond. It looks cold. It feels cold. Bill Webster retains the original to this day, as it brings back memories of his youthful hunting days in the back waters of the Mississippi River in Southeastern Minnesota."
A copy of the print accompanies the lot.
