Robert Bateman "Arctic Cliff-White Wolves" #9453/13000

"Arctic Cliff - White Wolves"The wolf is one of the most widespread predators in the world.  The species canis lupus has a great range of colors, from solid black to pure white, with various grays and browns in between.  Arctic wolves are generally white for obvious purposes of camouflage. The wolves have been arranged to induce the excitement of discovery.  You and the wolf on top of the cliff first discover and observe each other.  A moment later, you realize that there are other wolves, making their way down to the bottom of the cliff - to your level - and they, too, are aware of you. - Robert Bateman About Robert Bateman (From COA) Born in Toronto, Robert Bateman was a keen artist and naturalist from his early days. Bateman painted wildlife and wilderness in a representational style until his teens when he began to interpret nature using a variety of contemporary styles including post-impressionism and abstract expressionism. In the early 60s, Bateman rediscovered realism and began to develop the style that would make him one of the foremost artists depicting the world of nature. In the 70s and early 80s, Bateman's work began to receive critical acclaim and to attract an enormous following. Since his first one-man show in 1967, Bateman has had numerous sell-out exhibitions in Canada, the United States and Great Britain. His work is in many public and private collections, including several art museums. He was commissioned by the Governor General of Canada to do a painting as the wedding gift for HRH The Prince Charles from the people of Canada. His work is also included in the collections HRH The Prince Philip, the late Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Bateman has had many one-man museum shows throughout North America, including an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; most of these shows have drawn record-breaking crowds. His honors, awards and honorary doctorates are numerous, he was made Officer of the Order of Canada, our country's highest civilian award. He has also been the subject of three films. Two books of his art, "The Art of Robert Bateman" and "The World of Robert Bateman", have made publishing history; they have sold more that half a million copies.  Please Note This is an artist signed limited edition print numbered 9543 of 13000.  It was removed from its frame to facilitate easier shipping.  It comes with the mat that is pictured here, so it is frame ready.  There are 5 small pieces of Scotch-style tape that were used to keep print in place on Mat.  3 on the top and two on the bottom.  See pictures.  The outer mat dimensions are approximately 27" x 39".
