The Paintings of Eldridge Hardie - Art of a Life in Sport, a book spanning four decades of the artist’s career was published in 2002 and is available in our bookstore. Here is an example of the unanimously enthusiastic critical acclaim it has received. This excellent album of paintings is proof enough that Eldridge Hardie is as good as any painter alive in depicting not only the beauty of nature but also the subtle psychological tug in any fishing or hunting scene. Eldridge Hardie gets it and he’s put it on canvas for all to enjoy in a truly important body of work. Christopher Camuto, GRAY’S SPORTING JOURNAL Hardie was honored with the first ever one-man retrospective exhibit at The National Bird Dog Museum. He has exhibited at Artists of America, Great American Artists, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Gilcrease Museum, The C. M. Russell Museum, and the American Museum of Flyfishing. He sums up his long career by saying, “I was born to hunt, fish, and make art about these passions.” |
