World Wildlife Day Tribute: Wild Kingdom at Nassau County Museum of Art

Ever since humans began drawing them on cave walls, animals have played a significant role in art. Occupying the same planet, our fascination with members of the animal kingdom goes beyond whether artists have represented them figuratively or abstractly. In this presentation, based on the joint exhibits Wild Kingdom/Eden Never Ends at the Nassau County Museum of Art, not only will we see animals through the artistic lens of stark realism, creative interpretation and sheer whimsy, we will explore the exotic and painterly menageries inspired by Hunt Slonem whose works have been inspired by his spiritual connection to nature.
