Lot Description

Robert Elmer Lougheed (1910-1982)
Buck, Doe, and Fawn
signed "R.E. Lougheed" lower right
oil on canvas, 32 by 24 in.

Robert Lougheed was born in 1910 and raised on a farm in Ontario, Canada, where he spent hours sketching wildlife as a boy. He studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Montreal. He worked as a newspaper illustrator, and then moved to New York at the suggestion of his artist friend John Clymer (1907-1989). Lougheed, like Pleissner, studied with Frank Dumond (1865-1951) at the Arts Students League.

Lougheed lived in Westport, Connecticut, for twenty years, where, among other commissions, he painted the Annual National Field Dog Champions for DuPont, like Osthaus had earlier. After decades of extensive travel in the West, Lougheed and his wife, Cordy, moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he died in 1982.

The artist followed in the esteemed wildlife art tradition of painters like Carl Rungius (1869-1959) and Bob Kuhn (1920-2007).
