Elton Bennett (1910-1974) American, Silkscreen. Titled "Lands End". Pencil signed and titled. Elton Bennett is known for Graphics-marine-wildlife sketches. The following was adapted from a texxt by the artist's daughter Barbara Bennett-Parsons at www.eltonbennett.com: Elton Bennett's lifelong dream always was to be an artist. He grew up in Hoquiam in the Grays Harbor region of the Washington Coast, where mill work, fishing and dredging are common occupations, and Bennett himself knew many years of firsthand experience at them. The pursuit of art was not encouraged by the people around him. Elton Bennett started and stopped more than once in his plans to be an artist. For nearly 20 years, his only formal training in art consisted of a single year at Washington State University at Pullman in 1927 when he was 17 years old. In 1946, Bennett married Flora Broadie who encouraged him to persist with his artistic goals when few other people did. And it was in that same year that Bennett entered the Portland Art Museum School on the G.I. bill. Overall Size: 23 x 29 in. Sight Size: 17 x 23 1/2 in. #2171
