VERO BEACH, FL.- The Vero Beach Museum of Art presents Wild at Heart: National Museum of Wildlife Art, on view through January 6, 2008. Beginning with explorer-artists and continuing with the best contemporary painters and sculptors working today, wildlife has been a consistent theme in American art. Wild at Heart explores the art of wildlife through the different regions of North America that have been of particular interest to artists and naturalists over the last century and a half. The exhibition includes 77 stunning examples of wildlife paintings and sculpture by such artists as Albert Bierstadt, John Woodhouse Audubon, George Catlin, Thomas Worthington Whittredge, Charles Russell, Ernest Martin Hennings, Carl Rungius, and Robert Bateman, to name a few. This beautiful exhibit invites viewers to see wildlife art in new ways: as natural history, art history, or simply as a fascinating chapter in American history that needs no other label.
