Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your favorite painting or work of art

I've always been fond of photographic portraiture.

I've got "Chief" (the bison), on my wall, and it's my favorite. I saw the original in Jackson at the Gallery there, and was amazed. Mother got me a print for Christmas.

Is this it?

RogueHunter: Well thank you for trying to research my "favorite" work of art.
The subject matter in the lifesize work I saw so often was exactly the same as what is depicted by the photo you posted.
The two MAJOR differences are the art work I referred to was in charcoal (black and white) and Abraham Lincoln was looking directly at the art admirer with eyes fully open and directed forward.
I will do some looking myself - I have forgotten the name of the charcoal painting I admire but recall that the work was "commissioned" by and for the Employees of Washington Mutual Bank?

P.S.: Found YOUR colored Lincoln painting and it is 34" by 17" whereas the Washington Mutual owned piece was lifesize tall and lifesize width - and it was signed by Norman Rockwell - perhaps its "commissioned" work status kept it from being catlogued here and there?

VarmintGuy,

My guess that is that it was commissioned by the someone at the bank.

Someone is sitting on a gold mine!

Thanks TJM - That's amazing on a lot of levels.

well, I have prints of these two, from Georgia O'Keefe





and have a large print of this Remington. I've seen the original, too, which is in the Amon Carter Museum



This one looks very simple, but when you see the original in person, it becomes very, very impressive

Anything from Charles M. Russell.

Really like his painting, "Waiting on a Chinook."

His name is Edvard Munch. I'm a fan of a lot of art, from the renaissance to neoclassicism to romanticism to modern. Rembrandt, Degas, Toulousse-Lautrec, Gaugin, Michelangelo, Remoir to modern stuff by Dali, Picasso and others.

A couple of pics I took from the museum collection of Picasso in Hakone, Japan (wasn't supposed to but I don't follow instructions very well sometimes).

Yeah rogue, that is the picture. I always liked that one. Thanks.

Another painter I like is Terry Redlen?

I grew up as a young lad with that same wolf photo hanging in the dining room.

Dude...that's Mannlicher...!

Should have read the tread from the start instead of in reverse.

First, I am very sorry about your sister. Second, I love that watercolor. I lived in St. Ignatius, Montana for 12 years by the Bison Range. She captured them very well.
