CONTACT US SKU#: 122888 US Shipping $75 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Jack Coggins is a painter who is known in the United States for his oil paintings of predominantly marine subjects. Jack Banham Coggins was born in London on 10th July 1911, the only son of Sidney George Coggins, the Riding Master of the First Regiment of Lifeguards.When his father was retrenched, the family migrated to the United States in 1923. After studying at the Grand Central School of Art and the Art Students League in New York, Jack devoted much of his time to marine painting both in oil and watercolour, and gained some work illustrating magazines. During World War II, he served as a U.S. Army artist correspondent for Yank magazine in Europe and was with the U.S. ground forces during and after D Day. Many of his war illustrations appeared in Life and Saturday Evening Post. He also executed commissions for the Army and Navy, and illustrated many wartime commercial advertisements. After the war in the 1950s, Jack executed covers for science-fiction magazines, most notably Galaxy and Fantasy & Science Fiction. In 1951 and 1952, he collaborated with Fletcher Pratt on two classic books - Rockets, Jets Guided Missiles and Space Ships, and By Space Ship to the Moon (both published by Random House). The books were released amidst a great wave of interest in space travel, which swept the country in the 1950s. The two books made the prospect of space exploration seem a very practical possibility, and there are many space scientists today who retain fond memories of the influence these books had on their careers. During the sixties Jack wrote and illustrated numerous books about the American Revolution, Navigation, Signalling, Vikings, Submarines, and many more marine, military and historical themes.In 1966 he wrote and illustrated The Horseman's Bible, which has sold at least half a million copies. A revised edition was published in 1984. He acknowledges his father's 25 years in the cavalry and lifetime interest in horses for his equine knowledge. Jack Coggins has produced well in excess of 500 oil and water colour paintings during his career - they are displayed in numerous galleries and owned by the Philadelphia Maritime Museum, the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coastguard, and other institutions and companies. His original manuscripts and illustrations are part of the University of Mississippi's Permanent Collection of outstanding authors and artists. He has been a member of the American Ordnance Association, the U.S. Naval Institute, and advisor to the board of the Philadelphia Maritime Museum. Jack Coggins has had wide teaching experience, with five years on the faculty of Hunter College. He recently retired from active teaching and now lives with his wife Alma Woods, at his farm "Crestfield" near Boyertown in Pennsylvania.

Everybody was firing at the trains with every available weapon; the Nazis fired back with machine pistols and machine guns at the armored Americans less than 150 yards away. Ammo in the trains caught fire and burned all night; some of the Germans surrendered, some were killed and some escaped back to their lines. PROVENANCE: YANK UK 1944 magazine illustration.

The two books made the prospect of space exploration seem a very practical possibility, and there are many space scientists today who retain fond memories of the influence these books had on their careers. During the sixties Jack wrote and illustrated numerous books about the American Revolution, Navigation, Signalling, Vikings, Submarines, and many more marine, military and historical themes. In 1966 he wrote and illustrated The Horseman's Bible, which has sold at least half a million copies. A revised edition was published in 1984. He acknowledges his father's 25 years in the cavalry and lifetime interest in horses for his equine knowledge. Jack Coggins has produced well in excess of 500 oil and water colour paintings during his career - they are displayed in numerous galleries and owned by the Philadelphia Maritime Museum, the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coastguard, and other institutions and companies. His original manuscripts and illustrations are part of the University of Mississippi's Permanent Collection of outstanding authors and artists. He has been a member of the American Ordnance Association, the U.S. Naval Institute, and advisor to the board of the Philadelphia Maritime Museum. Jack Coggins has had wide teaching experience, with five years on the faculty of Hunter College. He recently retired from active teaching and now lives with his wife Alma Woods, at his farm "Crestfield" near Boyertown in Pennsylvania.

JACK BANHAM COGGINS (1911 - 2006) ORIGINAL SNOWY MAILBOXES
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
Original Jack Banham Coggins (Ameican 1911-2006) Snow Covered Mailboxes. Oil on board. This painting was done for his wife and features their own mailbox row in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Measures in Frame- 35" x 25" x 2. PROVENANCE: A Pennsylvania and Kiawah Island Private Collection. Jack Banham Coggins was born in 1911 in London, England, to Sidney George Coggins, a career British Army soldier and the Riding Master of the Life Guards first regiment, and mother May (Dobby) Coggins. When cuts in military expenditures forced his father out of the service, Coggins and his family moved to Long Island, New York in 1923. Coggins studied at the Grand Central School of Art and the Art Students League from 1931 to 1934. He became a freelance artist thereafter and created illustrations for magazines and advertisements.Early in World War II, Coggins received commissions from the War Department to compose training illustrations as well as other artistic works for Life magazine and the newspaper PM. Coggins joined the U.S. Army in April 1943. An editor who admired Coggins illustrative work pulled him from basic training and offered him a position as an artist correspondent for Yank magazine. With Yank, Coggins served in New York and Europe until the end of the war, eand he was embedded with troops in Normandy, France shortly after D-Day. After the war, from 1948 to 1953, he served as an assistant instructor of art at Hunter College in New York (now the Hunter College of the City University of New York). In January 1948, he married Alma Woods, an artist and research assistant of Coggins. In 1953, they settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, when Coggins began painting and illustrating commercially. He also taught his wife Alma to paint. The couple had their first joint art exposition in 1973 and continued painting together for many years. For 45 years, Coggins taught art at the Wyomissing Institute of the Arts in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, retiring in May 2001. At the age of 94, Jack Coggins died at his home in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, on January 30, 2006. His many paintings are on display in the Philadelphia Maritime Museum, the National Air and Space Museum, the Reading Public Museum, the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard institutions, and in various other public buildings and private collections.Image- 23.50" x 17.50".
