James M. Sessions (1882-1962)
Fly Fishing Scene

watercolor and gouache, 21 by 29 in.
Sessions was born in Rome, New York, and grew up in Chicago, where he studied at the Art Institute for three years before becoming a sailor on the Great Lakes. After serving in World War I, he worked as an illustrator for the "Chicago Tribune" and as a camouflage expert in World War II. Sessions traveled extensively throughout his life and was known for his sporting and marine scenes. According to the consignor, this work was painted for a sporting magazine.
One of the artist's most striking compositions, it is likely that this work was made into a print.
