Our affection for certain animals is as individual as our personal tastes in art. Luckily for us, our world is graced with painters and sculptors like the ones we present on the following pages. They portray creatures across the animal kingdom in various mediums and styles, including impressionism, realism, and abstraction. Works feature fauna on every scale, from smaller critters like frogs and meadowlarks to brawny beasts such as grizzlies and buffalo. Barnyard animals, horses, and man’s best friend also enjoy the spotlight in this sampling of contemporary fine artworks, promising something for every animal lover.
