Last Weekend for Wild in the Country October 7, 8 and 9
This exhibit explores the work of the “Big Four”— Bruno Liljefors, Wilhelm Kuhnert, Carl Rungius and Bob Kuhn. These four painters changed wildlife painting, transforming the genre into an art form filled with sweeping and innovative portrayals of the natural world. We are also pleased to present works by two contemporary artists, British painter David Shepherd and Honeoye Falls, NY, sculptor Mary Taylor who bring their own styles and interpretations to wildlife art.
