Bob Wygant Animal Paintings

A painter born in 1927 in Houston, Texas, Bob Wygant created traditional and romantic, panoramic Western landscapes, often with diminished figures of cowboys on horses in river valleys against mountain backdrops. He also did an occasional still life as well as wildlife subjects. Wyant had early exposure to drawing and painting from his father, who was the Heights Movie Theatre manager and gave his son movie posters to copy. Wyant's love of the outdoors was much influenced by his grandfather, who took him hunting and fishing. By age 13, he had determined to be an artist. 

Wygant was offered many art scholarships to attend college but instead volunteered in 1945 for the next two years as a staff artist for the Marines. In 1947, he entered the University of Texas in Austin and studied art on a G.I. Bill until the money ran out. Then, he established a painting career in Houston, where commissions from major oil companies such as Humble Oil Company and Creole Petroleum brought much attention to his painting skills. For Creole Petroleum, he did a series on South America, made possible by them funding several trips to that continent. For 16 years beginning in 1960, he taught at the University of Houston starting out as an assistant professor, and he also worked with the Houston Livestock Show as a judge of art submissions and scholarship applications. By 1976, he had so many commissions that he gave up teaching. Included were illustrations for True West, Saturday Evening Post and Fortune magazines. In 1981, he received "Best of Show" at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. Wygant passed away in 2008.

Swans in the Park, Hans Volcker, Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, Germany
Located in Knokke, BE
Swans in the Park Volcker Hans Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, Germany German Painter Signature: Signed bottom left and dated 98 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 72 x 111,50 cm, frame size 84 x 120 cm Biography: Volcker Hans was born on October 12, 1865 in Pyrzyce, Poland. Hans was the son of a pastor, orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandfather. Hans Volcker was a painter of landscapes, seascapes, still lives and portraits. He also painted in watercolour and fresco techniques. In 1885, Volcker was a student of famed Norwegian realist painter Hans Fredrik Gude (1825 – 1903) at the Berlin Academy. His teacher encouraged him to travel to Scandinavia. During his study trips, he made landscape paintings of Scandinavian mountain and lakes, that brought him later great recognition. In 1891, he led his own plein air painting school. The most famous pupils were german sculptor and painter Margarethe Haeffner (1884 – 1977) and the painter Oskar Moll (1875 – 1947). With his Berlin friend painter Walter Leistikow (1865 – 1908), who was also a pupil of Gude, he shared an admiration for Max Liebermann (1847 – 1935). His acquaintance with Liebermann’s paintings furthered his stylistic development to an Impressionism. In 1894 he lived in Munich and moved to Wiesbaden in 1899, where he was active as a contemporary artist and as a member of the Art Societies, presenting Max Liebermann, Fritz Overbeck or Lovis Corinth, among others. Today, particular importance is attached to the “Dutch Secession” exhibition, featuring paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Jan Toorop. In 1912, the society showed paintings by Alexei Jawlensky...
