Item Details
Description
LEALAND R. GUSTAVSON (1894-1966)

Golfer Putting. Watercolor and ink on stiff paper, circa 1950s-60s. 534x710 mm; 21x28 inches, on 23x32-inch sheet. Signed "Gustavson AWS" (American Watercolor Society) in lower right image. Tipped to board; matted and framed. Provenance: Illustration House, October 1994; thence to Dick McDonough. Gustavson was an excellent golfer himself and illustrated the book How To Play Your Best Golf by Tommy Armour in 1954. He explained that, "eventually, either by choice, economic pressure, or convenient timing, many artists concentrate on a particular subject which they know a great deal about and are able to interpret with precision and meaning. In my own case, that specialty is painting golf subjects. I have been intimately associated with golf since I was a caddie at the age of twelve and have since won five club championships." Gustavson also authored and illustrated the instructional book Enjoy Your Golf: An Illustrated Guide to Better Golf (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1954).
