Praise for The Decoy Artist...
“Every waterfowler wishes his passion were a lifestyle. The
great carvers made it so. The Decoy Artist provides an
intimate look into the life and times of renowned carver,
Vincent Giannetto, III, by one of the people that knew him
best.”
“At the Tuckerton
Seaport Museum, we strive to preserve and present New Jersey’s
rich hunting and decoy carving heritage. The Decoy Artist
reveals that legacy and the intimate connection between a man
and the river that wove its way through his life and artwork.
It’s a tribute to a forgotten heritage that is uniquely
American.”
“Who better than the
son of this renowned river rat should share with us the twilight
of the traditional Delaware River hunters and decoy carvers?”
