- Lot Description
The Gleaners, 1950
signed and dated "Lynn Bogue Hunt 1950" lower left
oil on canvas, 22 by 24 in.Grand Central Art Galleries, NY label affixed to back correspondence between the artist and the original owner accompanies this work Lynn Bogue Hunt was born in rural Honeoye Falls, New York, into a family that ran a small sawmill operation. He grew up with modest means, but spent hours outside exploring the natural surroundings in the woods near his home. He often collected birds and practiced taxidermy, a hobby that led to his accurate portrayal of his wildlife subjects.
Hunt contributed illustrations to his own articles, as well as cover illustrations to magazines such as "Field & Stream," "Sports Afield," and "Free Press." In his lifetime he painted for private collectors and companies, such as DuPont, illustrated over forty books, and produced roughly two hundred and fifty magazine covers. Though he spent much of his life in New York City, far from nature, Hunt had a strong foundation as a knowledgeable outdoorsman, bird hunter, and fisherman, enabling him to accurately capture the essence of the outdoors.
