Goat Heaven

Additional Information

Provenance:
Jackson Hole Art Auction, Jackson Hole, WY, 2007
Private collection, California

Wildlife painter Bob Kuhn made no secret of the difficulties of painting mountain goats, which are notoriously hard to get to, but not always that hard to see. “Camouflage is not an important attribute of the mountain goat, unless you include the winter months,” Kuhn wrote in The Art of Bob Kuhn. “During late spring, summer and early fall, they stand out on their craggy haunts like a sore thumb. It takes a pretty good climber to scale the heights they favor.” Here in Goat Heaven, Kuhn makes direct reference to those heights with a dizzying background that stretches beyond and below his wildlife subject.
