Wild at Heart

Beginning in April, come see the Wild at Heart: Selections from the National Museum of Wildlife Art exhibit, located at the Booth Western Art Museum from April 11-July 19. The exhibit is drawn from the collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, featuring paintings and sculptures by the greatest wildlife artists of the 19th and 20th century. Artists represented include deceased masters such as Albert Bierstadt, George Catlin and Charles Russell, along with contemporary masters like Tucker Smith, Bob Kuhn and Robert Bateman.


At this spectacular exhibit, come see the diverse wildlife art as it depicts the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it. Through the Wild at Heart artwork, one can see how art began with prehistoric cave paintings and evolved into the modern art of today. Whether it is through the naturalist standpoint or the humanist vision, both show their relations to animals and their appreciation between humans and nature. The exhibit offers fun and excitement for people of all ages that enjoy wildlife and its natural environment.
