At The Races An Original Painting By Bernie Fuchs
About the Item
A wonderful, atmospheric oil painting by the often-imitated but never-equaled Bernie Fuchs. Capturing the pre-race excitement along with the ensuing hustle and bustle of the betting ring. The bookmaker is depicted on his pitch with his tic-tac man behind, relaying the odds via traditional hand signals. The painting has a lovely depth and composition, with the various characters nicely captured by the artist. A rare painting from one of his visits to England, it comes with excellent provenance. The third-to-last image shows President John F. Kennedy posing for Bernie Fuchs at The White House. The second to last and final picture shows three items – mainly promotional catalogues/pamphlets – that came with and will be sold with the painting. Measurements given are for the framed size.
Bernhard Fuchs (1932–2009) was a self-taught artist and illustrator. He studied at Washington University and became a renowned illustrator, working for major magazines like Sports Illustrated and creating U.S. postage stamps, including the 1971 Emily Dickinson commemorative and 1998 stamps honouring folk musicians Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Sonny Terry, and Josh White.
