Stuart Gentling

American, (1942–2006)
Stuart and his twin brother Scott were born in Rochester, Minnesota, but came to Fort Worth, Texas when they were five years old when their father became the head of the anesthesiology department at Harris Hospital. The Gentling brothers are products of the Fort Worth school system, and both attended Tulane University and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where they studied under Walter Stuempfig and watercolorist John McCoy. Although highly regarded as independent figurative painters and quick to point out differences in their own special approaches, the two brothers have a unique sense of collaboration and have been creative partners for as long as they or anyone else can remember. With subject matters ranging from the ancient Aztec capital of Tenochitlan to Native American Indians, they are perhaps most widely recognized for their masterful book, Of Birds and Texas, a boxed portfolio of 50 paintings of birds and landscapes, published in 1986 to universal acclaim.
