Created in the final year of Bob Kuhn’s life, High Plains Lothario is cited as one of the artist’s last works. After his passing in 2007, Western Art & Architecture wrote a tribute to the artist that referenced the painting. “For a genre like ‘wildlife art’ so closely identified with the U.S. West yet extending to every corner of the globe, Bob Kuhn was widely hailed as the greatest living animal painter on the planet,” wrote Todd Wilkinson. “It is worth noting that one of Kuhn’s last classic paintings, High Plains Lothario, portrayed a bison bull trudging toward the top of a lonesome prairie hill past a woolly admirer.”
