Getting to know Frank Benson
Faith Bedford has produced a stirring tribute to Frank Benson.The book contains 180 illustrations with 100 in color but this book really is more a biography and less an exhibition of his work. Having said that, the story is not just his but also very much the story of the earliest American Impressionists.A careful study of Benson's paintings in this book shows elements of his colleagues Whistler, Sargent, and Cassatt. But I also see works like "Hunter in a Boat" and watercolors like "Salmon River in Canada" that strongly suggest Winslow Homer. William Gerdts in the introduction to the book wrote, "Frank Benson painted some of the most beautiful pictures ever executed by an American artist." Studying this book and relishing the exquisite paintings in it helps one to understand those highly complimentary words.

Juli 1923 in Russell, Russell County, Kansas) ist ein US-amerikanischer Politiker, ehemaliger Senator und Präsidentschaftskandidat (1996) der Republikanischen Partei. Im Jahr 1941, vor seiner Einberufung zum Militärdienst, hatte Dole ein Medizinstudium an der University of Kansas (KU) begonnen. Nach seinem Kriegsdienst studierte er Jura an der University of Arizona und der University of Kansas, diente im Zweiten Weltkrieg als Second Lieutenant in der 10. US-Gebirgsjägerdivision und wurde im nördlichen Apennin in der Nähe von Bologna bei Kampfhandlungen am 14. April 1945 durch deutsches Maschinengewehrfeuer schwer verwundet.
