On the expeditions Swanson illustrated the colorful and varied species of flora, fauna and sea life discovered using Beebe’s famous bathysphere and on deep sea dives. On subsequent trips to South and Central America, Swanson’s role expanded as both illustrator and botanist. In Venezuela, Beebe charged him with dissecting and illustrating the vocal organs of birds as part of a research project funded by the Simon Guggenheim Foundation of the Committee of InterAmerican Artistic and Intellectual Relations for the New York Zoological Society. His paintings in Venezuela were exhibited in 1942 at the Venezuelan Museum of Natural Sciences in Caracas. The 48th Annual Report of the New York Zoological Society, acknowledges Swanson’s contributions, “Mr. Swanson, in the last two months of the year, has completed twenty five paintings of Venezuelan amphibians, reptiles and mammals for presentation to the Venezuelan government. He has also made a considerable number of microscopic drawings for Zoologica articles.” Swanson’s personal recollections of his field studies were documented in an article, “I have acquired an appreciation of exactness that I do not believe I could have achieved in any work other than science...there is no limit to the painstaking exactness with which zoologists such as Dr. Beebe study the creatures they capture. If the preservation of a specimen or the recording of data require working straight through the night, they do it. When we were in the jungles of Venezuela recently, there was often some overlapping of duties of different members of the expedition. The day before I left to come to the United States, I had to skin a 10 foot bushmaster—a big poisonous snake...”

In Venezuela, Beebe charged him with dissecting and illustrating the vocal organs of birds as part of a research project funded by the Simon Guggenheim Foundation of the Committee of InterAmerican Artistic and Intellectual Relations for the New York Zoological Society. His paintings in Venezuela were exhibited in 1942 at the Venezuelan Museum of Natural Sciences in Caracas. The 48th Annual Report of the New York Zoological Society, acknowledges Swanson’s contributions, “Mr. Swanson, in the last two months of the year, has completed twenty five paintings of Venezuelan amphibians, reptiles and mammals for presentation to the Venezuelan government. He has also made a considerable number of microscopic drawings for Zoologica articles.” Swanson’s personal recollections of his field studies were documented in an article, “I have acquired an appreciation of exactness that I do not believe I could have achieved in any work other than science...there is no limit to the painstaking exactness with which zoologists such as Dr. Beebe study the creatures they capture. If the preservation of a specimen or the recording of data require working straight through the night, they do it. When we were in the jungles of Venezuela recently, there was often some overlapping of duties of different members of the expedition. The day before I left to come to the United States, I had to skin a 10 foot bushmaster—a big poisonous snake...”

        GEORGE ALAN SWANSON WATERCOLOR, COCHLOSPERMUM VITIFOLIUM

        Est: $1,000 - $2,000

        SWANSON, George Alan (1906-1968). Cochlospermum vitifolium. Watercolor on paper. Titled bottom right. 14 1/2" x 11" 1/2" sheet. George Alan Swanson, a native of Bloomfield, New Jersey, achieved international success as an artist. For nearly a decade (beginning in 1934) he accompanied Dr. William Beebe, Director of the Department of Tropical Research of the New York Zoological Society, on expeditions to South America and Bermuda as the official artist and illustrator. Dr. Beebe was among the first scientists to discover and document deepsea life, reaching unprecedented depths one half mile deep. On the expeditions Swanson illustrated the colorful and varied species of flora, fauna and sea life discovered using Beebe’s famous bathysphere and on deep sea dives. On subsequent trips to South and Central America, Swanson’s role expanded as both illustrator and botanist.
