An exhibit at the National Sporting Museum is closing soon, so I decided to go
on Thursday. The interior of the museum is beautifully laid out, and it’s
always a delight to visit there.
Survival of the Fittest
Envisioning Wildlife and Wilderness
This traveling exhibit features "masterworks created by an influential group
of painters known today as the Big Four: American Carl Rungius (born Germany,
1869–1959), Germans Richard Friese (1854–1918) and Wilhelm Kuhnert
(1865–1926), and Swede Bruno Liljefors (1860–1939)."These artists visited remote places to study and paint animals in their natural habitat. Their work helped raise awareness of wilderness and wild animals.

The bear painting looks hyper realistic
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love all the wildlife paintings, I especially love the bears. I am glad you got to see this traveling exhibit before it left. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy new week. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment!
Wildlife art is at the top of my list. Of the ones you showed, the swans in flight was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has done a great job with this place. The art is impressive.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures - especially the seascape with the swans in flight.
ReplyDeletei enjoy art of all sorts ...what fun colors, etc. i've gotten into Legos again ...my hubs found several flowers ...they really are neat, you can move them around your home or even bring out 1's that are more Thanksgiving colors at the time of the year. they are addictive and you can just enjoy the thrill of achieving a project. foggy Sunday here. we had a bit of sleet yesterday early AM but nothing that great. we mainly had rain and a bit of snow here and there ...nothing that did stay around. guess we will never have snowfall like we once did. have a great week. take care.

ReplyDelete...a beautiful collection.
ReplyDeleteThe art is really gorgeous and so uplifting! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThe bear was my favorite, and the rocky landscape around him or her was so well done. It's a wonderful thing when art can serve a purpose like this. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Very nice! The "Polar Bear in an Arctic Landscape" painting is my favorite.
