"The genius of Bob Kuhn is his ability to lay bare the drama, the majesty, and the essential nobility of the animal kingdom. Few have done it better; none have done it with greater conviction." --Tom Davis

| Of the three books devoted to Bob Kuhn and his moving portrayals of wild animals, this one, the artist insists, is the best.
An extraordinary retrospective featuring 133 paintings and 36 drawings, Wild Harvest spans more than three decades of a career unparalleled in the annals of wildlife art. Indeed, in the estimation of both his fellow artists and serious students of the genre, Bob Kuhn is the preeminent animal painter of the contemporary era. From elephants and Cape buffalo in the heat-charged African bushveld to bighorns and mountain lions in the rarefied air of the American West, Kuhn's powerful depictions continue to set the standard by which all wildlife art is judged. What makes Wild Harvest even more compelling are the artist's comments about his work. Kuhn shares keen observations about wildlife -- their gestures and behavior, habits and habitat -- gleaned from a dozen photographic safaris in Africa and countless research trips throughout North America. Just as significantly; he delves into the elements of painting -- drawing and composition, color and lighting -- essential to the creation of images that excite the viewer, engaging body, mind and soul. |
