- Lot Description
Ogden M. Pleissner (1905-1983)
Salmon Fishing
signed "Pleissner" lower right
watercolor, 14 by 21 1/4 in.
In his monograph on Pleissner, Peter Bergh writes, “Great sporting artists are great artists who know the habits of wild creatures and have committed to memory every detail of habitat...[They] have experienced the thrill of an Atlantic salmon.”
Indeed, Pleissner recalled his New Brunswick salmon adventures, “I drove up there alone and I sketched around for a while...I had a tent and camping equipment so we got in a canoe and ran the whole length of the Restigouche and camped along the way...”
This watercolor shows boldly painted figures about to land an Atlantic salmon. Pleissner's skill and technique at depicting shimmering, moving water is on full display, particularly in the reflections of the fishermen.
