The painting entitled Master of the Plains
Bison was commissioned by the Badlands National History
Association. It depicts buffalo on the range with the majestic
Badlands in the background. In the old days, bison roamed the range
freely in great numbers. The sheer size and strength of a mature
bull is depicted in this painting and symbolizes the energy and
power of this native North American animal. These beautiful animals
are now found in small numbers within Refuges or National Parks
within the U.S.
The original painting in on permanent display in the
lobby of the Visitor Center at the Badlands National Park in
Interior, South Dakota. The painting is 5 feet long and is quite
impressive when you see it at this scale that best represents the
magnificence of the bison.
This Giclee (zhee-KLAY) reproduction was produced from a
high-resolution digital scan of the original painting. Giclee
reproductions are superior to traditional lithography in that the colors
are brighter, last longer, and the details are crisper.
