Biography:Jim Scott was born in Los Angeles, California, but was raised in Texas on his father’s livestock farm. His attraction to art was evident at an early age, as was his preference for the out-of-doors. After a general college education and a tour in the Navy, Scott came to St. Louis, arriving on his 21st birthday. It was after dark when he reached the city and stopped under the Eads Bridge. Scott remembers the moment as a turning point in his subject matter, stating “Eads was fantastic. The river was romantic. I have always had a love for it since I saw it the first time.” Scott was now determined to become a painter and began spending summers in Connecticut studying with Robert Brackman, remaining in St. Louis for the remainder of the year working with local artist Frank Nuderscher. During these early years, Scott worked in oil paints – the traditional and respected medium for professional artists. He attained a modest success, selling landscape paintings and portraits, but in 1963 he saw the work of English watercolorist Jack Merriott – then vice-president of the British Water Color Society – and was so inspired that he contacted the artist and spent the next three summers studying with him in England, Scotland and Wales. Since that time, Scott has worked almost exclusively in watercolors and remains dedicated to his art. As he puts it; “Painting is my all-consuming interest. I am more alive when I am working at it than at any other time.” Even as a child, Scott was fascinated by Mark Twain’s stories of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer and their adventures on the Mississippi River, and although Scott has painted rural fields, city scenes and industrial landscapes, the River remains among his favorite subjects. In Shipyard, South St. Louis (ca. 1980) Scott combines the industrial with the idyllic in an image that transforms even the rough homely buildings of urban industry into graceful elements of a glowing river landscape. Conversely, in Paddlewheel (ca. 1970) Scott focuses primarily on the river and the rough water that results from the action of the paddlewheel – itself relegated to the corner of the composition. Yet even with this brief indication of the source of the agitated water, Scott has managed to remind us of the importance of this method of river travel that has left its mark on American history, just as the trail of turbulence reaches to the far distant horizon of the painting. Provenance:This poster print originates from the estate of former D'Arcy Vice President, Karl Herbert LEMP Sr. Karl Herbert Lemp Sr. (b.1929-d.2018) attended Shurtleff College in Alton, IL and was selected to Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. He served in the US Air Force during the Korean War, and later in the Reserves, rising to the rank of Captain and working as an Intelligence Officer. Following his service in WWI, Karl Lemp joined D’Arcy (DMB&B) Advertising Agency where he worked for 45-years rising to the position of Vice-President in charge of Print Production. Karl managed several leading D’Arcy clients including Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, TWA and others for many years. He retired in the late 1990s and passed away in 2018. D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles (DMB&B) was an advertising agency in the United States with 131 offices in 75 countries. The company was founded in 1906 as the D'Arcy Company in St. Louis, Missouri. The firm engineered Anheuser-Busch's slogan "This Bud's for you" as well as Trans World Airlines' "We Want To Be Your Airline" and designed creative campaigns around them. In November 1985, D'Arcy-MacManus Masius (D-MM) merged with Benton & Bowles (B&B) to form D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles. --------- Items are described to the best of our ability. Examine photo(s).
