Пол Брэнсом (Paul Bransom; 1885–1979) — американский живописец, иллюстратор, художник дикой природы. Пол учился рисовать сам: дома и в зоопарке. Мальчик был очарован птицами, он даже имел свой птичник с голубями и курами на заднем дворе. Покинув школу в возрасте 13 лет, работал учеником чертёжника. В 1903 году Пол Брэнсом переехал в Нью-Йорк, где стал свободным художником, зарабатывая на жизнь продажей своих работ газетам и журналам. В это же время Пол посещает классы в Коркоранской школе искусств (Corcoran School of Art). Публикация редакцией "Сатердей ивнинг пост" (The Saturday Evening Post) четырёх картин Пола означала стремительный скачок в его карьере художника дикой природы. Брэнсом успешно и плодотворно работал и в таких популярных изданиях как "Лэдиз хоум джёрнел" (Ladies Home Journal), "Кантри джентльмен" (Country Gentleman) и "Гуд хаузкипинг" (Good Housekeeping).

Paul Bransom (1885–1979) was an American painter, illustrator, and wildlife artist. Paul taught himself to draw at home and at the zoo. The boy was fascinated by birds; he even had his own coop with pigeons and chickens in his backyard. After leaving school at the age of 13, he worked as an apprentice draftsman. In 1903, Paul Bransom moved to New York City, where he became a freelance artist, earning a living by selling his work to newspapers and magazines. At the same time, Paul attended classes at the Corcoran School of Art. The publication of four of Paul's paintings by The Saturday Evening Post marked a meteoric rise in his career as a wildlife artist. Bransom also worked successfully and fruitfully for such popular publications as Ladies Home Journal, Country Gentleman, and Good Housekeeping.
