The Young Bull — Yellowstone Bison Fine Art Print

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

He is not yet the animal he will become — the massive hump has not fully developed, the winter coat not yet as thick and shaggy as it will be in his prime, the horns still short and clean and carrying none of the heavy, scarred authority they will accumulate through years of sparring and survival on the Yellowstone plateau. And yet there is already something unmistakable about him — a compact, sturdy self-possession, a way of holding his ground in the deep winter snow that speaks to the bison temperament in its purest and most essential form, the quality that has allowed this species to survive everything the last two centuries have thrown at it and still be here, still standing in the snow, still looking at the world with that particular expression of calm, unhurried indifference. The Young Bull captures that quality in a full-body portrait of exceptional graphic simplicity and beauty: the young bison standing alone against a pure white winter background, his dark coat a rich study in the tonal variety of black and white photography, his breath just visible in the cold air, his gaze directed slightly away from the camera with the instinctive wariness of a young animal still learning the full measure of the world around him. The pure white background — snow merging seamlessly with sky in the flat winter light — gives the image the clean, graphic quality of a natural history illustration elevated to fine art, the animal presented with a completeness and a clarity that rewards long and careful looking. Together with its natural companions Ice King — Yellowstone Bison Fine Art Portrait and The Ancient Echo — Bison Fine Art Portrait, The Young Bull completes a bison portrait series of exceptional range — the young animal finding his way, the mature bull in his frost-covered winter prime, and the close atmospheric study of the ancient breed at its most portraiture-focused — three images, three stages, one of the most remarkable animals on the North American continent. Available as a limited edition of 50 worldwide on ChromaLuxe Metal, Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, or DuraPlaq® FloatPlaqs.
