Background: Elton Bennett (1910-1974)
Elton Bennett, born in 1910, was a distinguished artist with a penchant for modern abstract styles. This piece, titled “The Valley of Time,” showcases Bennett’s mastery in serigraphy on paper. The artwork is signed and comes meticulously framed, matted, and glazed, contributing to its overall presentation.
Bennett’s artistic journey was profoundly influenced by his upbringing on the Washington coast. His internationally acclaimed serigraphs capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest, reflecting the mood and character of the region. Having worked in various blue-collar jobs in his early years, such as in the lumber, fishing, and dredging industries, Bennett’s art is deeply rooted in the experiences of his early life.
Supported by his wife Flora, Bennett dedicated himself exclusively to his artistic pursuits at the age of 45. Silkscreen printing became his chosen medium, providing him with versatile ways to manipulate compositions. “The Valley of Time” stands as a testament to Bennett’s experimentation with color and form, showcasing his departure from dark colors to vibrant patches that contributed to the popularity of his art.
Tragically, Elton Bennett and Flora lost their lives in a plane crash while approaching the Pago Pago airport during a violent tropical squall. Despite this tragic event, Elton Bennett’s legacy endures through his internationally acclaimed serigraphs, immortalizing the spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
