O obrazie

Bruno Liljefors painted Moose Family Entering a Clearing in 1930; this late canvas is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis. Flickering light accompanies closely observed animals, combining an immediate impression with attention to their forms. Liljefors's experience as a hunter had led him to study animal life over many years. He placed animals in relation to their surroundings, treating the landscape as part of their existence. His work developed at a time when wildlife painting was moving away from scientific illustration and taxidermy.

Opis muzeum

Bruno Liljefors was probably the most influential animal painter of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, at a time when wildlife art was still emerging from its association with scientific depiction and taxidermy. Liljefors's lifelong activities as a hunter motivated his close study of animal life, and in his art he approached his subject not as a descriptive narrator, but as an ecologist, seeking to show animals in interaction with their environmental setting in the landscape.

Moose Family Entering a Clearing is a strong example of Liljefors's late work. Through its convincing sense of immediacy, shimmering light effects, and accurately rendered subjects, the painting demonstrates the fine line between impressionism and painterly realism.
