The Life and Art of Wilson Hurley: Celebrating the Richness of Reality

Winner of the Silver Medal for Fine Art in the 2020 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards

The majesty of Earth's most magnificent features was the domain of Wilson Hurley (1924-2008). In paintings of natural wonders throughout the galaxy, he was committed to expressing his love of the richness of reality. His journey to become a revered twentieth-century American landscapist is brought to life in this intimate biography. Written for appreciators, collectors, and working artists, Hurley's goals and procedures--from thumbnails to plein air field studies and finished studio paintings--are elucidated in depth, including a commission that resulted in five monumental triptychs of our nation's most prized vistas installed at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
