Ogden M. Pleissner (1905-1983) Study for Big Fish Rise
signed "Pleissner" lower left
watercolor, 5 by 9 1/2 in.
inscribed "To my friend Don O'Brien / with all good wishes Ogden" on back
In "The Art of Ogden M. Pleissner" by Peter Bergh, Donal C. O'Brien, Jr. reflects on "Big Fish Rise," the painting that this work was a study for, "When I asked Ogden to do this picture, I told him that I wanted a painting that depicted what is to me the most exciting moment in outdoor sports--the rise of a large Atlantic salmon the moment just before the fly is taken. The salmon has trailed the swinging fly and is just about to come down on it. The angler and the guides know it, and their concentration is total. In another moment, all hell will break loose and this team will have their hands full."
Provenance: Donal C. O'Brien, Jr. Collection
