During his lifetime, artist Carl Rungius (1869-1959) enjoyed a reputation similar to that of well-known western painter Frederic Remington. Though interest in his depictions of the wildlife and awesome landscapes of the West declined after his death, growing fascination with our wilderness heritage is bringing Rungius back into the public eye. Rungius focused on realism in his depiction of wildlife -- he did some commercial illustration work for the magazine Field and Stream and paintings for the New York Zoological Society -- but he also experimented with expressive brushwork. Though his training was European, Rungius worked to develop a palette that would better convey the striking contrasts of light and color unique to the mountains and prairies of North America. Rungius has had several contemporary traveling exhibits created by the Glenbow Museum of Calgary, Alberta.
