Hardcover. West Chester PA, Schiffer Publishing, 1st, 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 128 pages illustrated in color and b&w. The story of the life and works of an American wildfowl artist. Lem's life is a tale of courage - of a man who overcame a withered arm, lack of formal education, cultural isolation, and severe illness to become one of the founders of American Wildfowl Art. This is a close look at how he and his brother, Steve, grew up together in the marshes along the Chesapeake Bay, how they subsisted as barbers and foragers, how they retained their independent spirits to create birds that pleased them - wildfowl art - while carvers around them were creating decoys just good enough for hunting ducks. Lem's work is described in pictures, accompanied by colorful comments and interesting insights by a collector who became one of the artist's closest friends. Clean copy.
