Lot description

William George Armstrong (1938-2020) Original Oil on Canvas "Hunters Pond". Measures 36"x48"x2". Weight 8 pds. William Armstrong started out at 14 painting signs for butcher shops, in Newark. He went on to become one of the world's leading scenic artists, creating dozens of major movie sets. An accomplished artist, painter, sculptor and craftsman, Armstrong has worked with Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee and Woody Allen. Among Armstrong’s ornate movie sets featured in Architectural Digest have been Meet Joe Black and The Legend of Bagger Vance, the project that brought the painter to Savannah, where he and his wife Monique soon called home. Armstrong typically worked from pen and ink drawings and pencil sketches, carefully observing the landscape and people around him. His luminous Low-Country landscapes are worlds away from the high-profile movie sets of Brighton Beach Memoirs, Scent of A Woman or Conspiracy Theory; but they enlighten viewers with their heightened sensitivity to the ineffable beauty of a palm tree at sunset or the mystical presence of a weathered wooden dock on the marsh.PROVENANCE: A Charleston Private Estate.
