Benjamin West Clinedinst

Benjamin West Clinedinst (1859-1931) was an American illustrator and painter, born at Woodstock, Va. He studied for a year in Baltimore and for five years in Paris under Cabanel and Bonnat and first attracted attention in New York with his illustrations for "Leslie's Weekly". He was best known as the illustrator of Thomas Nelson Page's "Unc' Edinburg", the works of Hawthorne, Stevenson, and Mark Twain, although he worked also in oils and water colors. His sympathetic collaboration with the author gave his work an especial charm. He was awarded the Evans prize of the American WaterColor Society in 1900.

In 1947, the nonprofit Artists' Fellowship, Inc. established the Benjamin West Clinedinst Memorial Medal for exceptional artistic merit. Past winners include Norman Rockwell, Pat Oliphant, and Philip Pearlstein.
