Terry Redlin (American, b. 1937)
Prairie Monument – Pheasants
1986, 40” x 58”, oil on panel
Terry Redlin began his career as a commercial artist. After having a painting appear on the cover of a magazine, the demand for his work became so great that, at the age of 42, Redlin became a full time wildlife artist. Redlin’s art has been featured on many Duck Stamps and he has been honored as Artist of the Year by Ducks Unlimited.
His work has expanded into limited edition prints, limited edition collector plates and a variety of decorative accessories.
Redlin’s work is uniquely recognizable by his dramatic use of light. Prairie Monument – Pheasants captures this dramatic light. With dark shadows, the pheasants are illuminated by the brightly rising sun.
