2016 National Museum Wildlife Art Wall Calendar

Since our predecessors painted horses, deer, and other beasts on cave walls, humans have maintained a tradition of wildlife art. Romantic, tragic, or scientific, wildlife art today highlights the primal nature of untamed creatures around us, from the powerful grace of the predator to the idyll of the doe. Atop a cliff overlooking the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming, the National Museum of Wildlife Art provides the opportunity to observe wildlife and enrich understanding of nature through art. This calendar's twelve images sample wildlife art from both contemporary painters and earlier artists who developed the tradition.
