Philip Russell Goodwin (1882-1935) was an American artist who painted hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventure scenes. Philip Goodwin art consists largely of oils on canvas. Paintings by Philip R. Goodwin are often dramatic depictions of man versus animal and man versus the elements, set against soft, pastel landscapes.
Philip Goodwin art is known for its convincing portraits of subjects and their actions, painted with a Realist’s eye for accuracy, while the natural beauty of the background environment is painted with the eye of an Impressionist. Philip R. Goodwin prints were published in national publications, including Harper’s Monthly, Harper’s Weekly, and Scribner’s, as well as serving as ads for Winchester Arms. He also created book illustrations for Jack London’s Call of the Wild. You can find many remarkable wildlife paintings for sale online at Invaluable by other artists to match your niche interests.
2 3/8" by 2" by 1 3/4". Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. Known for his illustrations of hunting, fishing, and cowboy scenes, especially scenes featuring firearms, Philip R. Goodwin was from Norwich, Connecticut. By the age of eleven, he had already sold his first illustrations to Collier's magazine. He was educated at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and the Art Students' League in New York. He also studied with Howard Pyle in Pennsylvania. His works exhibit much of Pyle's earnestness and discipline, but are restricted almost entirely to subjects of hunting and fishing. In this limited area, however, he produced many notable pictures, the subject matter always convincing and dramatic in color. In his early twenties, he established a studio in New York and met Charles Russell, whose paintings of western subjects provided a great influence on Goodwin's work in that genre. Goodwin's interest in scenes of cowboys and ranch life is evident in Bronco Buster. The two men traveled together on several occasions, sketching source material for their paintings. Meanwhile, Goodwin appeared in such books as Jack London's Call of the Wild. Goodwin's pictures were also published in Harper's Monthly and Weekly, Outing, Scribner's, and Everybody's magazines, in addition to calendar subjects for Brown & Bigelow, advertising for Winchester Arms and the Marlin Firearms Company. He also illustrated African Game Trails for Theodore Roosevelt. Goodwin's interest in Charles Russell is seen not only in Goodwin's use of bright, vivid colors, but also in the romanticized subject matter, which appears to celebrate the bonding of rider and mount.

Heavy loss as shown. 7 1/2" by 9 1/2". Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it. A life-long bachelor, Goodwin was joined by his mother who lived with him until her death. The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much. The end came on a chilly December 13 day when Goodwin died of pneumonia at the Port Chester Hospital at Port Chester, New York. He was only fifty-four years old. Few artists have had the resurgence in popularity that Goodwin has enjoyed. The interest in his artfrom collectors of sporting art, Western art, and illustrationshas skyrocketed. For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.

By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it. A life-long bachelor, Goodwin was joined by his mother who lived with him until her death. The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much. The end came on a chilly December 13 day when Goodwin died of pneumonia at the Port Chester Hospital at Port Chester, New York. He was only fifty-four years old. Few artists have had the resurgence in popularity that Goodwin has enjoyed. The interest in his artfrom collectors of sporting art, Western art, and illustrationshas skyrocketed. For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.
Title is Solitude, Glacier National Park Montana. Oil on Canvas on Board. 7 3/4" by 11 1/4". Has been professionally cleaned and restored. Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company.

National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it. A life-long bachelor, Goodwin was joined by his mother who lived with him until her death. The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much. The end came on a chilly December 13 day when Goodwin died of pneumonia at the Port Chester Hospital at Port Chester, New York. He was only fifty-four years old. Few artists have had the resurgence in popularity that Goodwin has enjoyed. The interest in his artfrom collectors of sporting art, Western art, and illustrationshas skyrocketed. For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.
Title is After The Storm Again, Glacier National Park Montana. Oil on Canvas on Board. Salmagundi Club Label. 5 7/8" by 9 1/2". Has been professionally cleaned and restored. Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin.

The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much. The end came on a chilly December 13 day when Goodwin died of pneumonia at the Port Chester Hospital at Port Chester, New York. He was only fifty-four years old. Few artists have had the resurgence in popularity that Goodwin has enjoyed. The interest in his artfrom collectors of sporting art, Western art, and illustrationshas skyrocketed. For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.
Title is Mt. Athabasca. Old Salmagundi Club label on board. Oil on Canvas on Board. 8" by 11 3/8". Has been professionally cleaned and restored. Mount Athabasca is in the Columbia Icefield of Jasper National Park in Canada. Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items.

For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.
Pencil on Paper. Title is Saddle Study. 4" by 6 3/8". Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it. A life-long bachelor, Goodwin was joined by his mother who lived with him until her death. The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much.

Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack Londons novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art imagesone of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logoGoodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881not 1882 as often erroneously writtenin Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of Americas most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen booksincluding the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungiuss paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it. A life-long bachelor, Goodwin was joined by his mother who lived with him until her death. The Depression battered gun sales. Guns were no longer the tools of sportsmen, but were perceived as tools of war and cruelty. Advertisers only wanted Goodwins works that emphasized conservation, fishing, fire prevention, and fun and work in the great outdoors. And they didnt pay much. The end came on a chilly December 13 day when Goodwin died of pneumonia at the Port Chester Hospital at Port Chester, New York. He was only fifty-four years old. Few artists have had the resurgence in popularity that Goodwin has enjoyed. The interest in his artfrom collectors of sporting art, Western art, and illustrationshas skyrocketed. For example, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000 celebrated The Year of the Cowboy and chose Goodwins 1910 oil masterpiece, When Things Are Quieta scene of a cowboy with wooly chaps laying on a hill side next to his horse gazing over the cattle in the valley belowon their commemorative poster. Still, another tribute to the genius of Philip R. Goodwin, rightly titled, Americas Sporting and Wildlife artist.
