History / Biographical
George Browne (1918-1958) was the youngest child of artist Belmore Browne (1881-1954) and writer Agnes Evelyn (Sibley) Browne (1882-1976). George's parents purchased a summer home in Banff in 1921, and throughout his childhood George travelled across Canada and the United States, spending much of this time camping and hiking in the Canadian Rockies where his father drew inspiration for his wildlife and landscape art. George first began to develop his drawing and painting skills as a child and young adult by learning from his father. George attended the California School of Fine Arts for five years from the age of 15, before being drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II. George continued to paint during and after his military service, and from 1947 George dedicated most of his time to his art. George Married Isabel "Tibby" Magregor in 1948, and the couple moved to a cabin in the Canadian Rockies shortly afterwards where they had two children. In his spare time, George was an avid hunter and outdoorsman and went on numerous duck-hunting trips with his dog, an Irish Setter named Kelly O'Toole. George died during a hunting accident in 1958.
Scope & Content
File consists of one photograph album pertaining to artwork by wildlife painter George Browne. Front cover reads "Snap Shots", with "Calgary Canada" written in pen near the bottom right corner. Album contains photographs of 22 wildlife paintings by Browne, mostly depicting geese, ducks, grouse and other wildlife. Photographs are individually captioned underneath with the painting's title and dimensions. Album also includes one photograph of George's dog, Kelly, posing with a duck.
Material Details
Covers made of red-brown soft leather with pressed decorative border design. Front cover depicts bust of unidentified Indigenous man wearing a feather headdress, surrounded by trees on left and right sides with a blue background. Album is bound with brown shoelace.
