Russell Chatham (1939–2019) was an artist and author whose paintings and lithographs spoke to a singularly American sense of place. Over nearly six decades, his landscapes have been exhibited in more than four hundred one-man shows in museums and galleries. Chatham also wrote several books, including the short story collection Dark Waters, in which he chronicled hunting adventures with friends like Jim Harrison; Angler’s Coast, a cult classic; and numerous articles on fly-fishing, conservation, and the pleasures of food and wine.
