Landscape artist Robert A. Knight, formerly of Haverford, whose work included lush golf courses and program covers for the Phillies, has died. He was 90, writes Gary Miles for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Knight died Nov. 22 at Hershey’s retirement community in West Chester. Services were Dec. 4.

He trained and graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, now University of the Arts, in 1953.

His career spanned 60 years, with award-winning illustrations for TV Guide, Girard Bank, Chilton Publishing, Bryn Mawr Trust, and other companies.

A big golf fan, Knight painted dozens of golf scenes from courses around the country marketed around the world.

He produced renderings of the seventh hole at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square and the iconic clubhouse at Merion Cricket Club.

“It was like magic,” his son, Robert, said of watching Mr. Knight paint in his home studio. “I could see how talented he was.”

He also produced covers for the 1971 Phillies yearbook on the opening of Veterans Stadium and brochures for Liberty Bell Park racetrack.

He was in the Army for two years after college, living in East Falls and Haverford before moving to West Chester.
