Scott Gentling (December 31, 1942 – February 8, 2011) was an American visual artist based in Fort Worth, Texas. While his work bordered on realism, he often rejected the term, and preferred to describe his work as representational.[1] He was also known for his artistic collaborations with his fraternal twin, Stuart Gentling, including their book Of Birds and Texas,[2] and the murals at the Bass Performance Hall, in Fort Worth, Texas. Scott and his twin's work drew inspiration from many common interests such as nature, history, and architecture.
